Itinerary
Córdoba, a hidden treasure nestled among mountains, where coffee is harvested with skilled hands and a farmer's heart. Here, we will enjoy a cup of coffee prepared using the filter method, smooth, aromatic, and full of character.
Then, we will venture into the heart of the mountain range until we reach Pijao, the famous “Pueblo sin Prisa” (Town without Haste). We will walk through its quiet streets, learn about the history of the Pijao indigenous tribe that gives it its name, and, of course, participate in a coffee tasting that will connect us with the land and its people.
As the perfect ending, we will visit Buenavista, the smallest municipality in Colombia's smallest department. From its panoramic viewpoints, the mountains seem to embrace us. Here, facing a landscape that looks like something out of a dream, we will have our last cup of coffee: intense, elegant, and memorable, like this entire journey.

About Armenia
Armenia, capital of Quindío in Colombia's coffee country, is a modern city among green hills, a base for coffee farms, wax palms and mountain villages.
Armenia is the capital of Quindío, a small department in Colombia's Eje Cafetero, the coffee axis, whose landscape of hills and farms is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The city was founded in 1889, and its grid of streets, parks and a cathedral on the Plaza de Bolívar reflects its youth. The Quimbaya Gold Museum holds gold work and pottery made by the Quimbaya people before the Spanish arrived.
