A three-hour drive from Medellín, sits at the top of the coffee zone. It is also within the range of many of Colombian great birding locations: Rio Blanco, Las tangaras, and Nevado del Ruiz. The town itself is filled with birds, and on just a morning drive the other day we saw a Yellow-eared Parrot, a Chestnut-crested Cotinga, and a pair of Black-billed Mountain-toucans.
