SALENTO, A BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF HEAVEN

IF YOU WANT TO GO SOMEWHERE FOR VACATIONS, A HIGHLY RECOMMENDED PLACE TO GO IS THE TOWN OF SALENTO. SALENTO IS LOCATED IN THE DEPARTAMENT OF QUINDIO, IT WAS THE FIRST TOWN FOUNDED IN THIS DEPARTMENT. IT HAS EASY ACCESS TO THE COCORA VALLEY. AT COCORA, THERE ARE MANY THINGS TO DO LIKE, GO CAMPING, HORSE RIDING, FISHING, BIKING AND SEEING THE BEAUTIFUL AND REALLY REPRESENTATIVE PLANT IN COLOMBIA, LA PALMA DE CERA, OUR NATIONAL TREE. TOURISTS CAN ALSO GO TO “EL MIRADOR”, LOOK-OUT-POINT IN ALTO DE LA CRUZ. FROM THERE, EXTENSIVE VIEWS OF COCORA VALLEY AND LOS NEVADOS NATIONAL NATURAL PARK CAN BE ENJOYED. GOING OUT OF EL MIRADOR THERE ARE A VARIETY OF RESTAURANTS WHERE TOURIST CAN GO AND ENJOY EATING PLENTY OF SAUCES SERVED IN A LARGE “PATACON”, A FRIED GREEN PLATAIN. SALENTO IS FULL OF GENTLE PEOPLE AND ENTERTAINMENT, SO IF SOMEBODY WANTS TO LEARN ABOUT COLOMBIA´S CULTURE, SALENTO IS THE DREAMED SPOT.
