Armenia Trips & Tours

A UNESCO World Heritage site dedicated to coffee-growing.

Forming a triangle around the leafy lushness of the Zona Cafetera, the towns of Manizales, Pereira and Armenia all provide excellent jumping-off points for a deep dive into the world of coffee. Armenia is the capital of the fertile Quindío region, the coffee axis of the entire country and an area that is so serious about its beans it has been granted UNESCO World Heritage status. The landscape is a handsome mix of terraced coffee fincas dotted with giant banana trees, bamboo jungles, and, in more recent years, a crop of countryside hotels offering thermal pools and exquisite restaurants for a truly idyllic stay. Once you’ve got to grips with the ins and outs of the coffee-making process, head out and enjoy the scenery on a horseback ride, hot air balloon trip, or even by paraglider.
