Spoiler: It&#8217;s delicious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over 550,000 families in the country make a living from coffee production. During your trip to Colombia, you can easily arrange a visit to a coffee finca to understand all the stages of <strong>coffee transformation<\/strong>, from bean to cup. These farms are always located in beautiful places with many plants and fruit trees, and the food is delicious.

You can decide if you feel more comfortable with a guide or want to navigate it independently. Personally, I love <strong>bu\u00f1uelos<\/strong>, <strong>carima\u00f1olas<\/strong>, <strong>patacones con queso coste\u00f1o<\/strong>, <strong>palitos de queso<\/strong>, and <strong>empanadas<\/strong>, especially when they&#8217;re accompanied by one of the delicious homemade aji (pepper) sauces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another option is to <strong>visit markets<\/strong>. In the big cities, the most well-known markets are <strong>Paloquemao<\/strong> (Bogot\u00e1), <strong>La Minorista<\/strong> (Medell\u00edn), <strong>Galer\u00eda Alameda<\/strong> (Cali, my favorite), and <strong>Bazurto<\/strong> (Cartagena). On weekends, there are also markets <strong>in the villages<\/strong>. These markets are a great way to discover the <strong>country&#8217;s many exotic fruits<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, visiting a market can be combined with <strong>a cooking class<\/strong> (or you can just take a cooking class). The best cooking classes I&#8217;ve taken are in <strong>Cartagena<\/strong> and <strong>Medell\u00edn<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomplanmytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Food-Class-in-Cartagena-East-Caribbean-Coast-Colombia-Adrien.jpg\" alt=\"cooking Class in Cartagena - East Caribbean Coast - Colombia - Adrien\" class=\"wp-image-82410\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tomplanmytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Food-Class-in-Cartagena-East-Caribbean-Coast-Colombia-Adrien.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tomplanmytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Food-Class-in-Cartagena-East-Caribbean-Coast-Colombia-Adrien-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tomplanmytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Food-Class-in-Cartagena-East-Caribbean-Coast-Colombia-Adrien-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-653ffff0\">\n\n<a class=\"gb-button gb-button-d151c7cc gb-button-text destCta newTab\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tomplanmytrip.com\/tours\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-lasso-id=\"83450\">Look for an activity<\/a>\n\n\n\n<a class=\"gb-button gb-button-7b8ec478 gb-button-text destCta newTab\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tomplanmytrip.com\/what-is-colombia-known-for\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-lasso-id=\"105993\">Why is Colombia famous<\/a>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-2e64e783 postItineraryBoxPicture\">\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomplanmytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Rancheria-in-Cabo-de-la-Vela-La-Guajira-Desert-Colombia-Eastern-Caribbean-Coast-2.jpg\" alt=\"Rancher\u00eda wayuu La Guajira Desert Colombia - Eastern Caribbean Coast\" class=\"wp-image-81193\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tomplanmytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Rancheria-in-Cabo-de-la-Vela-La-Guajira-Desert-Colombia-Eastern-Caribbean-Coast-2.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tomplanmytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Rancheria-in-Cabo-de-la-Vela-La-Guajira-Desert-Colombia-Eastern-Caribbean-Coast-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tomplanmytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Rancheria-in-Cabo-de-la-Vela-La-Guajira-Desert-Colombia-Eastern-Caribbean-Coast-2-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"postItineraryBoxPictureAuthor\">\u00a9 Tomplanmytrip<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-262c756f postItineraryBox\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-9fdf5320 postItineraryBoxInfos\">\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading postItineraryBoxInfosName has-global-color-11-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-b2e2120a3d06cadbe96505db942cb65f\">TOTAL RELAXATION<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading postItineraryBoxInfosIntro has-global-color-14-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-923b95110fe62c33bf6bafff7c463e12\">Because holidays also mean relaxation.<\/h4>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-553ffeea gb-accordion\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-95139cc9 gb-accordion__item\" data-transition=\"slide\">\n\n<button class=\"gb-button gb-button-47be49df gb-accordion__toggle\" id=\"gb-accordion-toggle-47be49df\"><span class=\"gb-button-text\">Take a boat tour<\/span><span class=\"gb-icon\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\" width=\"1em\" height=\"1em\" ariahidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" class=\"gb-accordion__icon\"><path d=\"M207.029 381.476L12.686 187.132c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941l22.667-22.667c9.357-9.357 24.522-9.375 33.901-.04L224 284.505l154.745-154.021c9.379-9.335 24.544-9.317 33.901.04l22.667 22.667c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941L240.971 381.476c-9.373 9.372-24.569 9.372-33.942 0z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\" width=\"1em\" height=\"1em\" ariahidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" class=\"gb-accordion__icon-open\"><path d=\"M240.971 130.524l194.343 194.343c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941l-22.667 22.667c-9.357 9.357-24.522 9.375-33.901.04L224 227.495 69.255 381.516c-9.379 9.335-24.544 9.317-33.901-.04l-22.667-22.667c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941L207.03 130.525c9.372-9.373 24.568-9.373 33.941-.001z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/button>\n\n\n<div id=\"gb-accordion-content-4d00911e\" class=\"gb-accordion__content\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-4d00911e\">\n\n<p>You must take a boat to enjoy the most beautiful beaches and islands of the Caribbean coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best way to explore the Rosario Islands is to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomplanmytrip.com\/tours\/cartagena-de-indias\/boat-rental\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"83451\">rent a private boat in Cartagena<\/a><\/strong>.

To fully enjoy the experience, bring <strong>non-slip shoes<\/strong>, cash for entrance fees to private properties, and avoid dry seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img

However, it can be combined with other experiences<strong>,<\/strong> such as <strong>mountain biking<\/strong> or <strong>hiking to Cerro Machin<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Carbonera is a farm located within the municipality of <strong>Toche<\/strong> in Tolima.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomplanmytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Bogota-and-around-La-Carbonera-wax-palm-tree.jpg\" alt=\"Bogota and around - La Carbonera - wax palm tree\" class=\"wp-image-79499\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tomplanmytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Bogota-and-around-La-Carbonera-wax-palm-tree.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tomplanmytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Bogota-and-around-La-Carbonera-wax-palm-tree-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tomplanmytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Bogota-and-around-La-Carbonera-wax-palm-tree-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Credit: @djulz_elmago<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-c4a2f88a gb-accordion__item\" data-transition=\"slide\">\n\n<button class=\"gb-button gb-button-be819c65 gb-accordion__toggle\" id=\"gb-accordion-toggle-be819c65\"><span class=\"gb-button-text\">Samaria Valley<\/span><span class=\"gb-icon\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\" width=\"1em\" height=\"1em\" ariahidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" class=\"gb-accordion__icon\"><path d=\"M207.029 381.476L12.686 187.132c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941l22.667-22.667c9.357-9.357 24.522-9.375 33.901-.04L224 284.505l154.745-154.021c9.379-9.335 24.544-9.317 33.901.04l22.667 22.667c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941L240.971 381.476c-9.373 9.372-24.569 9.372-33.942 0z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\" width=\"1em\" height=\"1em\" ariahidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" class=\"gb-accordion__icon-open\"><path d=\"M240.971 130.524l194.343 194.343c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941l-22.667 22.667c-9.357 9.357-24.522 9.375-33.901.04L224 227.495 69.255 381.516c-9.379 9.335-24.544 9.317-33.901-.04l-22.667-22.667c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941L207.03 130.525c9.372-9.373 24.568-9.373 33.941-.001z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/button>\n\n\n<div id=\"gb-accordion-content-91556051\" class=\"gb-accordion__content\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-91556051\">\n\n<p>The<strong> Samaria Valley<\/strong>, near San Felix, is another destination to see wax palm trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike Cocora, this valley does not benefit from protection by natural parks, making the conservation of the wax palms dependent on local landowners.

sometimes be lacking).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Taganga<\/strong> can be an alternative if you&#8217;re looking for a less touristy village.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img
