City review
Pereira is part of the territory that UNESCO declared a World Heritage Site in 2011: the Colombian Coffee Cultural Landscape was founded on August 30, 1863. This city, the capital of the department of Risaralda, is the result of the Antioquia colonization; its citizens conserve traits of that culture, and for this, they are considered friendly and hardworking.
Pereira is a good destination for travelers to get closer to the coffee culture in farms where it is possible to learn about the cultivation of this grain that has given Colombia a good name in the world. In several places near the capital of the department of Risaralda, tastings of different coffee are constantly offered and allow visitors to interact with the people who cultivate the land.
