Paysage culturel du café de la Colombie

Six main regions and eighteen urban centers form a network of coffee plantations stretching across the mountainous terrain of the Colombian Andes departments.

Coffee cultivation in this region started in the late 18th century, transforming the agricultural practices and establishing new economic foundations for local communities.

Traditional farming methods reflect the combined influences of indigenous, Spanish, and Afro-Colombian communities in the coffee production techniques across the region.

Visitors can explore 47 municipalities across Caldas, Quindío, Risaralda, and Valle del Cauca departments, with guided tours available in towns like Manizales and Armenia.

The region maintains 141,120 hectares of active coffee plantations with a 207,000-hectare buffer zone, supporting sustainable agricultural practices and local ecosystems.
