SALENTO, COLOMBIA FIRST IMPRESSIONS and trying the local trucha - we left Bogotá

[@marimedgal]

My parents are Colombian but I was born in the U.S. As a child and a teen I would go to Colombia every few years during my summer break from school and stay for a few months. As an adult I haven’t been able to go as often. The last time I went to Colombia was about 10 years ago! I’m determined on returning sometime in the next 6 months and I’m definitely adding Salento and the Cocora Valley to my itinerary. ❤

is good to go back! is been about 6-7 years for me. I'm from Bogota and I miss looking at the Andes mountains when I land there

[@asmith1pr]

Your videos make me wanna travel right now! Great content. Love it.

[@SammyandTommy]

Appreciate it Sidney! We are running out of steam though 😅 We might have to take a couple days off and recharge our batteries!

[@pedroprada1]

Dont know how you are able to make such amazing videos in such short time... like almost live.... you guys are truly talented creative professionals....

[@SammyandTommy]

Thanks for making our day 🥰 We needed a few day breaks to recharge and get back after it!

[@stellaeiland1880]

Agin a wonderful documentary. I am spending my Sunday watching your videos. Different than others. Going to great places and being authentic and respectful

[@SammyandTommy]

Thanks so much for your kind words. They inspire us to keep creating so we really appreciate it!

[@hisnameisvu]

Wow Colombia looks incredible 👏, definitely need to go now because of you guys - bravo Sammy and Tommy

[@SammyandTommy]

Thanks friend! This region is so unique. We are very excited to be here 😁

[@BETOETE]

good U made it to Salento, one of the capitals of the coffee region, a neighboring town, Filandia (not Finlandia), maybe less touristy and less crowded than Salento with the same architecture. I recommend you to go to the nearby wonderful hot springs of Santa Rosa de Cabal, won't regret it!

[@SammyandTommy]

Thanks for the great tips! We are very excited to explore this new region 🙃

[@Bobby_The_Cat]

I’m going in 2 days. So excited!

[@SammyandTommy]

That’s awesome! You’re going to have a great time!

[@JordanandEmily]

100% great decision to fly! - aaaaaaand we've added Salento to our list :)

[@maoinc13]

Just don't fly to Pereira , you could take a plane to Armenia city is easier

[@JordanandEmily]

@@maoinc13 oooh! Great tip! Thanks for letting us know 😊 already getting so exciting for 2023 now!!

[@colinmcgraw]

Sammy & Tommy - such a cool video! I need to take notes for my own videos! I really feel like I'm traveling with you in this video. Salento is amazing! I loveeeed it there. But I took the bus - smart taking the flight! 🤣

[@SammyandTommy]

Really appreciate it Colin 🙏 Thanks for the wonderful compliments! We are loving Salento 😍 Can't wait to post our next couple videos from there! We were so happy with our decision to go for the affordable flight!

@@SammyandTommy salento is so peaceful. Honestly such a fantastic getaway

[@pedroprada1]

get also Bocadillo con queso in Salento... its a guava paste mixed with milk and sugar that is inside of a plantain leaf with cheese.. its probably fresh.. its a quick bite... you can also get in cocora valley

[@samaracardona]

Great Content!Thanks for showing our country like this!

[@erwinmarin9700]

El eje cafetero. Es My región favorita de Colombia.. por su clima naturaleza y la amabilidad de su gente

[@pedroprada1]

Woohoo! So excited to see you guys made it to the Coffee Region! and get a completely different experience to Bogota! I am happy to hear you will do a Coffee Farm experience .... make sure to visit Cocora Valley.(tallest palm trees in the world (bring a poncho) you can go on a Jeep for cheap... So proud of you making this venture... The only challenge is getting around as there is so much to see (like Filandia/ Parque del Cafe/Panaca .... it should be cheap to move around though.... I really hope you have a good time.... the climate is amazing in this area.... Are you planning to go to Medellin/ Cartagena?

[@pedroprada1]

See this picture you can take in Filandia for Encanto (if you go there): kzbin.info/www/bejne/nmbVnIJriNR_nqM

[@SammyandTommy]

We are super psyched to be here! We won't miss the hike, don't worry. We have already seen the Willys around. Looks like an interesting way to get around the area. We are definitely heading to Medellin and Caragena. Most likely after we spend a few days here in Salento! Thanks friend 💜

[@pedroprada1]

@@SammyandTommy if yoi go to Cartagena focus on the walled city and San Felipe Castle (its amazing) and streets... for the beach day go to Rosario Islands OR best beach is Playa Blanca on Baru Island (all very close to the port of Cartagena)... do not let the street massager and vendors fool you with free trials.... some of them may be unscrupulous and try to overcharge you..

Thanks so much for the coffees friend! Really appreciate you and all the love you have showed us 🥰
