 SY SUNDAY WAFFLES – Wade & Natalie – Leopard 48′

4) COLOMBIA,   SALENTO 

Salento
is in the north-east of the department of Quindío, Colombia.  It
was the first settlement in Quindío of the modern era as the main route
from Popayán and Cali to Bogotá used to pass through Salento, but when
the route was diverted the town became isolated and did not develop as
rapidly as the rest of the region. For this reason it has retained more
of its traditional colonial architecture than almost any other town in
the eje cafetero. The historic center of town was inscribed on the
UNESCO World Heritage List as part of the “Coffee Cultural Landscape” in
2011

We
finally wear long pants & shoes again: Salento – coffee village in
the Colombian Andes, part of the UNESCO World Heritage “Coffee Cultural
Landscape of Colombia” in the “Zona Cafetera”, so its all coffee here.

14) NEARBY TRIP TO COPPER CANYON 

 The
canyons were formed by six rivers that drain the western side of the
Sierra Tarahumara (a part of the Sierra Madre Occidental).

The
Ferrocarril Chihuahua al Pacífico (Chihuahua-Pacific Railway), also
known as El Chepe is a major rail line in northwest Mexico, linking
Chihuahua City, to Los Mochis and its port, Topolobampo.   It
crosses the Sierra Madre Occidental traversing the Copper Canyon, a
rugged series of canyons that have led some to call this the most scenic
railroad trip on the continent.  

The 25,000 sq. mi. of the Copper Canyon System is vastly greater than the area of 1,902 sq. mi. of the the Grand Canyon 

Copper
Canyon in Mexico has  the third-largest cableway in the world!
This cableway is 2 miles (3 km) long and it takes you to Bacajipare
Meson in a cabin for 60 people, with glass floors and lots of windows to
enjoy the view of the three canyons.
