The super paisa region of the coffee triangle ....is actually paradise on planet earth ... I am an American citizen from New York City USA ... I have travel to Switzerland Europe ...and Austria ... .. and the paisa country of the coffee triangle is the most beautiful place on earth ... And yes salento is absolutely spectacular .... Very good video ... Excellent information and material ....

@OurFreedomYears Год назад

Glad you enjoyed the video! We also found the coffee region to be absolutely beautiful. It's been such a privilege to wake up to such incredible views every morning. 😊

@changingscripts Год назад

wow, it looks like a lot has changed in Colombia. I was in Bogota and for a tiny bit Medellin about twenty years ago and any bus travel came with a warning about the possible cartel encounters. Soooo glad things have gotten better. The coffee region looks gorgeous.

@2011andresme Год назад

Unfortunately eventhough hollywood and netflix keep profiting of that stereotype

@OurFreedomYears Год назад

Certainly it's much safer in Colombia now than 20 years ago, although we did need to be mindful when we spent the month in Medellin.

@2011andresme Год назад

@@OurFreedomYears i can say the same about the US you need to be mindful when you are in a church, a college campus or a shooping mall , u can get caught in the middle of a mass shooting

I'm from Pereira, the most important city in the coffee region, it amazes me when foreign people say our landscapes are really beautiful, I always saw the landscapes in this region as pretty average.

@OurFreedomYears Год назад

Well, after traveling to many beautiful places around the world, we can honestly say that the countryside here in Colombia is really quite spectacular. 😊

@tomjohnson4584 Год назад

WOW! You two have done it! You've created a vlog on a place most of us knew nothing about that looks fabulous and done it in your signature engaging way. By now, you two have this down: We know your individual personalities, your likes/dislikes and your adventurous spirit. Here, in this video, you brought it ALL together. I truly think this is your best yet and I'm a huge fan. Thank you!

@OurFreedomYears Год назад

I honestly think this is the nicest and most motivating feedback we've ever received! Thank you so much. I would print it out and frame it except that it would need to be a very tiny frame to fit in our luggage. 😊

@josesaavedra6106 Год назад

Fantastic video, I think you guys would have enjoy Brichara and its surroundings a little better. It is a much quieter and relaxing destination.

@OurFreedomYears Год назад

Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the tip about Brichara! 😊

¡Gracias, es un país hermoso!

Another great video of a beautiful area. The purple bananas really caught my attention. That was new to me. A quick Google search provided the following : They're a hybrid of two species of banana native to Southeast Asia - Musa balbisiana and Musa acuminata. Before they're fully ripe, they have an unusual blue-tinged peel due to their natural wax coating. Enjoy your wonderful travels.

@OurFreedomYears Год назад

Great research! Maybe we'll eventually find some that are ready to eat and we can finally try them...

Hi ladies, Thanks so much for visiting our beautiful country Colombia 🇨🇴 I'm from Medellin, we stayed at Decameron Panaca Resort in 2010 in the coffee region, it is absolutely beautiful, the food and service was the best, hoping to visit soon, greetings from USA 🇺🇸 🙏🇨🇴♥️✌️

@OurFreedomYears Год назад

So glad that you had a great experience in the coffee region. It became our favourite part of Colombia -- so beautiful! 😊

@explorinwithlaurin Год назад

Such a cool place! We are headed to Salento in a few days and we can’t wait to walk the streets and drink all the coffee! Thanks for sharing your experience!!

@OurFreedomYears Год назад

Have an amazing time! It was one of our favourite parts of Colombia along with Minca.

@gif24gt60 Год назад

Looks beautiful! Any chocolate tours?

@OurFreedomYears Год назад

Just the coffee tour! I did a chocolate tour back when we were in Ecuador and definitely overindulged. 😂

@brandonbp122 Год назад

What a professional and beautiful video. This is Travel Channel worthy. I love Salento. I've been twice. What a gorgeous place in the world. I miss it.

@OurFreedomYears Год назад

So glad to hear that you enjoyed the video! And your compliment means even more since you're so familiar with Salento. 😊

Thank you so much! We had a great time capturing the highlights and couldn't believe how beautiful all the setting are here.

@richardsudol1055 Год назад

Hey there! I can't believe that we are in the same time zone!! I've just spent 2 months in Brazil (Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo) and now I'm in Bogota for a couple more weeks. Any chance you are going to be any closer than coffee country between now and 7March?

@OurFreedomYears Год назад

Amazing! This isn't exactly closer to Bogota but we are heading to Cartagena in a few days. We'll be there for a couple weeks before going to Minca.

@richardsudol1055 Год назад

@@OurFreedomYears Well, I just made reservations to visit Cartagena for a few days as a "side trip" from Bogota. I will be there from 28Feb-3March. Do we overlap? If so, it would be great to meet in person for coffee/dinner/drinks!

@OurFreedomYears Год назад

@@richardsudol1055 Such timing! We'll actually be on our way to see the rest of the coast by then. Have an amazing time in Cartagena!

@thegallivanthropologists Год назад

So cool. I have a good friend who studied coffee finca culture for his M.A. thesis and he swears by Salento. Glad I got to see it through this. We are planning on being in the region on our drive around the World. I hope you like our geeky new channel name. We are rebranding to fit better with our mission to promote environmental and cultural preservation on our upcoming carbon-neutral UNESCO world tour. Cheers and keep up the fun. - Turtle

@OurFreedomYears Год назад

Great new name to go with your mission! I'm sure you'll love this region once you get here...we found it to be truly quite spectacular.

@dremunoz2600 Год назад

So glad you guys made it to Salento, I have family in Pereira so I was there in 2014 and it was amazing. The coffee tour is cool but walking around town is so much better.

@OurFreedomYears Год назад

Such a beautiful place! We happy we spent so much time there 😊

@jfbaquero Год назад

I am from Bogotá, Colombia. Salento is amazing, but I think Barichara and Mompox are far more beautiful. Tons of other beautiful towns as Mongui, Iza, Guadalupe.

@OurFreedomYears Год назад

After we left Salento and traveled more through the coffee region, we found that there were many other pretty towns. It's a beautiful region!

I hope you will at some point address the safety recommendations -- are there places in Colombia that are not safe to go? Thanks!

@OurFreedomYears Год назад

That's a great question and it's very important to consult the latest information before making any travel plans. We generally felt on guard in Medellin but we've been very relaxed here in the coffee region. For every destination that we consider, we've been looking closely at any government warnings and taking them seriously.
