Andean Highlands Natural Environment

Santa Rosa de Cabal (a town 45 minutes away from Pereira, Risaralda) boasts one of the best hot springs in Colombia (they are called "termales". It's definitely worth seeing. It's also extremely cheap (I paid $20,000 colombian pesos -or 10 dollars) for a whole day in the springs (there are hostals/hotels in the area if you decide to stay). In order to get there, you need to catch a colorful bus called "chiva" at the town's market place. This ride is an adventure in itself as you can travel on the chiva's roof top for about 20 minutes (avoiding branches and all that stuff). Moderate temperature. Nice food. Great views (waterfalls, creeks). A must-see in the Eje Cafetero.

I love this place primarily because of my family connection to it. Aside from it offering anything from city life to suburbia to estates in farmlands, its weather is above par. Although it catches a bad rap for its drug/violence history, it has really cleaned up over the past 10 years. I've never really had any issues. It is an excellent place to travel , if visiting South America. Bogota is too americanized if you want to get away. The exhange rate has always been good. The food is amazing. Period. People are surprisingly friendly, especially compared to the U.S.

If you want to feel the humidity and the warm climate between the beautifull Colombian mountains come here. You can rent a house or stay at a hostal. It is maybe the most economic trip I´ve ever made...

there is nothing out there it's only a village that they billed it up on trees becauose there is a very high tide in extreme weather you can't even see sometimes the house's....it's an extreme exotic place....

Very nice the weather is so cool warm but with cold wind the perfect weather go to the little restaurant is a lot in the city interact with the locals is very friendly with the travelers ofcorse you have to speak basic spanish and be fun.
