Salento is a picturesque town located in the Quindío department of Colombia, situated in the heart of the country's coffee region. Founded in 1842, it is one of the oldest towns in Quindío and is known for preserving its traditional colonial architecture characterized by colorful balconies and doors.
The town is surrounded by the striking Cocora Valley, home to Colombia's national tree, the Quindío wax palm, which can grow to heights of up to 60 meters. Salento's cultural heritage is deeply connected to the region's coffee-growing tradition, and the town serves as a gateway to numerous coffee farms where traditional cultivation methods are still practiced.
The local culture is marked by its paisa heritage, reflected in its cuisine, crafts, and the traditional game of tejo. The town's artistic scene has grown in recent years, with various galleries and workshops showcasing local artisans' work, particularly in areas such as weaving and woodcarving.
