Salento is a small town in the department of Quindío and lies within the triangle of coffee („Eje Cafetero") in Colombia.

 

In the colonial area the main route from Popayán to Bogotá traveled over the Quindío pass and passed Salento. When the route was diverted, Salento became isolated and did not develop as fast as the rest of the region.

 

The colonial heritage, the many coffee farms and the relaxed life style made it a main tourist destination.
