Colombia: Zona Cafeteria - Pereira and around
And so, we are in our last stop in Colombia before we go to Ecuador! (that we thought at the beginning of this trip...)
Mauro our Couchsurfing friend opened us the doors to his flat in Pereira. He has a very nice apartment and we slept in the room next to his office. He is originally from Pereira, but lived in London for a while and now is back to Colombia helping his Dad to transform their coffee farm in an eco farm over the next ...
