The Escape - Colombia with Esteban Chaves
Today we were in one of the most beautiful areas in Colombia, known as the "sauna cafeteria," which means coffee area. We rode 450 kilometers with around 2,000 meters of climbing. This is cycling for me; look at all the coffee trees here. The temperature today was between 20 and 25 degrees. The coffee here is the best I've ever had. I hope everyone can come here to see and appreciate the scenery of this area. It's one of the most beautiful places in Colombia. Every four or five kilometers, you can find farms like this. We finished our trip at exactly 152 kilometers. It was a pretty nice loop, and we are really happy. The scenery couldn't have been better.
