After breakfast, we set out to explore the town. Salento is a centre of coffee production, trout farming, and tourism. Visitors are drawn to the town by its quaint streets, typical paisa architecture, and its proximity to the spectacular Valle de Cocora. Salento was founded in 1850 and is one of the oldest towns in this area of Colombia.
