Day 49 Tuesday, April 23rd Plantation House, Salento, then bus to Medellin


First we joined Tim’s guided tour of his coffee plantation. Really interesting and an entire “from tree to cup” explanation of coffee including a live demonstration of the shucking of the bean, soaking the bean (to remove the natural sugars) and the roasting, grinding and finally the filtering and drinking.
After that a bus to Pereira and then another bus to Medellin (about 5 hours of travelling) and then a taxi to our hostel Tamarindo B&B. COP88,000 (US$50 approx.). Not very good and so we checked out the next morning.
