Salento

This is part 4 of our Cali trip. The day after we went to coffee park we headed back to Cali, but we stopped by a little town called Salento in the department of Quindio. This was a really beautiful place to visit and a good place to buy some little souvenirs. We highly recommend visiting this place. 

The air in Salento was so fresh and a little chilly because it is in the mountains. Also, May is a rainy month.

You can see a little river down there in this picture and the one above.

Don't be fooled...the dog just wanted food. He sneaked up under Chris' arm.

We saw a few pretty nice cars around here.

These cars are Willy's (later known as Jeeps) are from around the WWII era, and they were used a lot to transport coffee beans after the war.  There were several parked around the town square serving coffee. You could also pay for a ride in some of them.

This main street had a lot of different little shops to visit. Somewhere near the end of the street were the best crepes on a stick we have ever had!

It took us a while to get through this area.

When we got to the top of the main road, we stopped to grab some lunch with a view.

I don't know what this is all about, but it's strangely beautiful.
