Coffee and Volcanos
After a memorable time in Cali, Soeren and i headed north to a city called Manizales where we based ourselves from. The city itself is pretty cool...extremely hilly and filled with universities...you can definitely feel the university vibe while walking down the city streets.
The following day we visited a Hacienda de Cafe (Coffee farm) where we had a private, 2-hour tour of the entire place. We got to see coffee production through the entire cycle and finally enjoy some fresh colombian coffee from beans we had just roasted. Did you know that one coffee plant produces 1kg of coffee beans per year which sells for anywhere between $0.50 and $2.00 (depending on quality)? haha...the best thing was that then entire tour was in spanish and i understood everything!
Our final day, Soeren and i took a trip to Nevado del Ruiz. The weather wasn't great, so no beautiful views, but we did manage to make it to 4850m. In the end we were rewarded for our efforts with a long soak in a hot spring.
