We arrive in Salento after an overnight bus to Bogota, followed by a 7 hour bus right to Armania and another hour long ride to Salento. The girl I was travelling with really wanted to see it and it sounded interesting so that's why I decided to go. We found a hostel and went out for some food and tried to decide what to so the next day. There were bikes available for rent but they were faily expensive so we decided the next we would go for a walk/hike in a nearby park.
We got up early the next morning and headed out for the hike. We only walked for about 3 hours in total but it was really beautiful. A really friendly dog decided to join us at the beginning and escorted as the entire way there and back. There were also some weird palm trees that were suppose to be exclusive to the area. After the hike we returned back to town and wandered around. There were plenty of local artist and artisans that had shops along one of the streets. At the end of the street theres was a really cool view point which we climbed up to. We got back to our hostel around 5 pm and grabbed our stuff to head out. It was a nice break from the busy schedule that we had been on with all the tours. It was quiet with gorgeous surroundings and had awesome coffee and desserts. I was definetely happy I had a chance to see it.
