Salento Packing List Tips by richiecdisc Top 5 Page for this destination

D is great for a romantic getaway like Salento

Luggage and bags: Though this is still primarily a Colombia getaway, it has all the makings of a gringo backpacker paradise. It also has some real backpacking possibilities in the vicinity so bringing that big bag might not be all show and tell.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Hiking boots are a must for Valle de Cocora and comfy shoes for walking around town will come in handy too. A sweater is a good idea as it gets cool in the evenings and rain gear is likely to come in handy in this area noted for cloud forests full of hummingbirds.

Photo Equipment: A wide angle is great for bringing objects into your foreground, making photos more interesting. A zoom is great for taking photos of barnyard animals, cats, and beans for that matter.

Miscellaneous: Thanks to D for being a great romantic partner in this very romantic town.
