The hill of the wind: a small coffee town of colourful houses and wide-open views.

Field notes

Risaralda

Risaralda is a municipality in Caldas—not the neighbouring department of the same name. Set on the cordillera, it is known as the “hill of the wind”.

Colourful houses, traditional coffee farms, a botanical garden and panoramic viewpoints reveal a life shaped by coffee and the slopes of the Coffee Cultural Landscape.
