Salento: A Must-Visit Destination in Colombia

Salento is a charming, small, and colorful town surrounded by nature 🇨🇴🌼. With its safe environment, it's perfect for beginners exploring Colombia. The popular Valle de Cocora (Cocora Valley with wax palms) is just a 20-minute jeep ride from the town square ⛰🌴. There are both short and long trekking courses available, with the short course taking about an hour, making it easy to enjoy! The town is filled with cafes and restaurants, and the prices are quite affordable. You can also easily book a coffee farm tour for an authentic local experience ☕️. Salento offers the perfect balance of a relaxed atmosphere and stunning views. With better accessibility than Jardín, it's highly recommended for first-time travelers to Colombia.
