Buenavista is a small town in the UNESCO World Heritage listed Coffee Cultural Landscape of Colombia. Offering perhaps the best views and best coffee in the entire Coffee Region, it makes for a great day trip and is still relatively off the beaten path.
History
The town was first settled in 1928, although wasn’t officially considered a settlement until 1933 when a police officer was assigned to it. Shortly after, in 1936, Buenavista officially became a town. It separated from the municipality of Pijao on December 10, 1966, and became its own municipality.
With its incredible views and scenery as well as a few special local attractions, tourism has grown and attracted visitors from all over the world. It’s still considered out of the way, so it remains a hidden gem.
Getting There
If you don’t have your own transportation, there are regular buses from the bus terminal in Armenia that run roughly every hour. The trip takes about an hour one way.
Getting Around
The town center is so small you won’t need transportation to get around. If you’re visiting Café San Alberto, you’ll have a steep uphill walk and then a walk down a narrow road.
