The famous "Coffee Triangle" (coffee triangle) in southwestern Colombia has led to a popular tourist route, becoming an alternative to luxury resorts and streamlined plantation tours. And the Sierra Nevada route is a journey through the past and the present, allowing visitors to get a glimpse of the past and taste the upcoming Colombian coffee. In remote upland areas, indigenous tribes Koji and Alvako are leading the way in the cultivation of organic coffee, with a sustainable system that combines traditional spiritual beliefs with modern knowledge of cultivation. These estates have skills and tools handed down from generation to generation, and the organic coffee beans are highly sought after, with triple certification of organic food, fair trade and rainforest friendliness.

However, coffee is not native to Colombia, but it has been grown here for hundreds of years, and the steep mountains are shaded by trees, combined with the right precipitation, height and temperature. it is an ideal place to grow round, medium-sized Arabica beans. Colombia has been exporting coffee beans since the early 19th century, with sales reaching 840000 tons in 2015 alone.

The Colombian town of Kekka is brewing something. The air smelled of caramel, bark, charcoal and chocolate. What smells like that? It turns out that the coffee beans are freshly baked in the backyard roaster, and the rich roasting aroma penetrates the water mist that hangs over the tropics all the year round.

This tranquil region, the Santa Marta Sierra Nevada Mountains in northern Colombia, which originated on the coast of the Caribbean, was forgotten by political disputes and has long been uncivilized, but is now a popular tourist destination. The palm-tree beaches of Tyrona National Park, the ancient ruins of Perdida, and the bird paradise in the jungle around the key card attract many Colombians and knowledgeable foreign tourists from the city.

Recently, Menka and the Sierra Nevada have become new pilgrimages for coffee-loving tourists, coffee connoisseurs and curious backpackers who can't wait to see what Juan Pablo Campos, general manager of the Lewo Coffee Bean Trading Group, calls "Colombia's most important organic coffee producer."
