Salento Tours & Activities | Discover the Best Experiences

Salento welcomes travelers with its colorful houses, rolling green hills, and unique charm. Nestled in Colombia’s coffee region, this small town is the perfect starting point for exploring the lush Cocora Valley, tasting world-famous coffee, and discovering a slower pace of life surrounded by nature. Friendly locals, vibrant streets, and breathtaking landscapes make it a must-see destination for those seeking both adventure and relaxation.

A Glimpse into the Past

Founded in the mid-19th century, Salento has preserved much of its traditional architecture and old-world charm. Its central plaza, lined with brightly painted balconies, reflects the town’s colonial heritage and the cultural mix of indigenous and European influences that have shaped the region over the years.

When to Plan Your Trip

All year round, Salento enjoys a pleasant, mild climate thanks to its elevation. The dry seasons, generally from December to March and July to August, offer sunny days ideal for hiking and coffee tours. Rain can pop up unexpectedly but brings vibrant colors to the landscape and cools the air.

How do I get to Salento?

Most visitors arrive by bus or shared transport from nearby cities like Armenia or Pereira. The ride offers scenic views and takes about an hour from either city’s airport, making Salento accessible yet pleasantly tucked away from the bustle.
