History
Salento grew as part of 19th-century settlement into the Quindío coffee region; farm lanes evolved from agricultural needs rather than recreational trail building.
Conservation
Local farms balance tourism and coffee production—stay on trails, avoid disturbing riparian zones, and follow guide instructions to minimize erosion and habitat disturbance.
