The PNC opens its doors at 9:00 am and closes its services to the 2:00 pm entry, butstill active until 6:00 pm for visitors to have time to finish your visit. If you are atourist with family and children are advised to be from 9.00 am because it will takedays, if you come with a group of adults to which the rides is not something to kill himlike, around 11 : 00 am is fine. If summertime clothing, vital cap or hat and overcoat,shoes suitable for walking. Ah! Sunscreen, remember that the sun is not like before!

The PNC is divided into three zones, the input or-museums mirador area, area of travel or coffee zone and

the zone or zone adventures rides.

When i went to PNC looked online a map of the park tohave a good idea of how the visit could swiftly andeffectively as possible, no, i found something worthwhile,that is why i scanned the map PNC full so you can designa better look. At the end can download it if they wish.

Upon entering you are in the first zone, do not waste timeif they have not gone to the bathroom do it, which takestime comes, buy liquids. Not visit the museum now, leave it till the end if you havespare time. The first in this area is up to the lookout tower is key. Once at the topgive an overview of the park, that guide them. You observe that the PNC is on theverge of a mountainside and is directed toward the plane in the valley, ie, the firstarea is at the Top and the last at the bottom, it is vital to design the course. Indescending monument visit the harvest, it is worth please contact the zone 2 input 8and then begin the journey of coffee, you have two options, follow the leader in thecompany of many (most time consuming but you learn more) or be separated fromthe group on their own (faster but you learn less ), the important thing in any of theabove two options is to stop at points 14 and 15, the peasant household, el show delcafé, this is not to be missed! Before joining the show back to the bathroom if required, do not endure because once inside the show cannot go out and see the showwith an inner conflict makes them lose the essence.

To continue the journey, locate the station and again chairlifts climb on them tozone 1, when fall again take the path down the forest of myths and legends in the endfind a kiosk or roasted plantain banana spectacular this is an alternate site for lunch if there are many people in the plazas of food. At this point, and again at the station i

recommend lifts head for the zone 3 on the roadto bambusario, beautiful! Take the suspensionbridge is not as spectacular.

At the end of the tour of the bambusario arriveat the plaza of the couple, entrance to the

village quindiano, here I am sure will be at leasta couple of hours to go to lunch if they arrived

8/6/2019 Colombian Coffee Park

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/colombian-coffee-park 13/14

before 2:00 pm, at which not many people in the square of meals, after this time isalmost impossible to have lunch here and we should consider alternate sites.

There are two food court, here in the people quinidano and another in the secondmechanical amusement area (paragraphs 30 and 31). Indeed, these squares are

sometimes unusable by the number of people in them, i recommend using the peoplequindiano, the gourmet restaurant in the train station that has attention to the table,hardly anyone uses it in a slightly more expensive (the differential value is negligibleand is more comfortable) or 17 or 45 points fonda horses where you eat better andmore secure.

For children begins the first adventure on the rides, these are located behind therailway station, there take the first part of the train ride that leaves us in the thirdarea of rides (paragraphs 40's). If the group of adults I recommend the ride ahead of time. It is best to follow up and get to the second part of the thrill rides (paragraphs30's). Here is the orchid show, not worth it, even the kids are asleep!

ENJOY

Back to back are in the village and return quindiano taking the cable car. If manypeople can walk a little further and come back for the chair lifts, but it pays to havepatience and go up the first.

At the end of the day will be back to zone 1 and if not too tired you can visit the

coffee museum, interesting, it's time to buy delicious coffee products, I recommend themocafico sweet, delicious
