That night, the girls had changed their minds and had decided to go to a place called Salento, in the coffee plantation area of Colombia. You had to get a bus to Armenia then another one to Salento, I tagged along anyway, why not, it was different to what I was initially going to do but my plans have never been set in concrete. Armenia was just another city but Salento was beautiful, up in the hills, surrounded by forests and palms and had a mirador where you could go to get a panoramic view of the city. Didn't see any coffee plantations though, a little disappointed with that. We ended up meeting some others, a bunch of people the Dutch girls had met somewhere else on their travels, we went to some place down the road from Salento that had hikes and all sorts, there was a hike that took you to a house surrounded by humming birds, we went there, the walk wasn't too bad there but to hike up the mountain to the cloud forest was reminiscent of walking up the Inca steps leading to Machu Picchu, very tiring indeed, but worth it. From not planning to do much, we ended up on a six hour hike up a mountain and into a forest, the only one in the world where palm trees grow up to 60m high at this altitude, plus I got to see some wild humming birds for the first time. They are as fast as people say and they make a loud almost buzzing sound when they fly.
