Pereira is the perfect base from which to explore the Coffee Triangle - Colombia's mountainous coffee growing region. A combination of higher altitude, periodic rain and a warm year-round climate, provide the ideal conditions for the cultivation of coffee, considered to be some of the best in the world. The lush green vegetation which covers the mountain-side provides spectacular scenery in which to hike and is dotted with historic Spanish-style haciendas, where landowners directed the coffee production and export. Whilst many of these are still functioning today, some have been converted into stylish boutique hotels.
Up in the hills of Buenavista lies Hacienda San Alberto, one of the premier coffee produces of the area. Visitors will spend the day being guided through the entire coffee making process, seeing for themselves the plantations, nursery and processing plant before the highlight of the day - the tasting. Accompanied by an expert, learn to identify and appreciate the individual characteristics and distinctive qualities of different beans. Drinking coffee will never be the same again!
