about us

Enjoy an extraordinary retreat with us

If we cross continents to taste a fine wine at its vineyard, why wouldn’t we travel to the cradle of the planet’s smoothest coffee? In Quindío—heart of Colombia’s Coffee Cultural Landscape, a UNESCO World Heritage Site—every bean tells a story.

Traveling to Quindío is accepting an invitation to the impossible: walking through mountains that seem to float above the mist, sipping coffee that tastes like childhood, and discovering that birds sometimes do rain from the sky. They say that here, amid hummingbirds, towering bamboo, and that light that gilds the afternoons, you’ll find the real stage for García Márquez’s magical realism and the hidden music that inspired Encanto. I believe it.

But I’ll admit something: exploring Quindío with access to its most intimate treasures is far more than a trip; it’s a gift that changes how you see the world.

I was born in Manizales, grew up in Bogotá, and five years ago I returned to these mountains to stay. Since then, I’ve learned there’s no place on Earth like the rugged tenderness of the Coffee Region; and within it, Quindío is a small, green, steamy, living paradise that beats to the slow rhythm of ripening coffee cherries.

These pages are a tribute to the land that adopted us and a passport for anyone who wants to look beyond the visible. Let yourself be guided by images and words that tell the story of coffee planted by hand and harvested to song, of forests that whisper legends, of people who hug you before they greet you. We might forget what someone said, but never how they made us feel, and here—trust me—you’ll feel as if you’re in another world.

Welcome to Quindío, the Heart of Colombia. Open this magazine and let the magic lead you by the hand.
