Esa posibilidad de vender a los visitantes la belleza de una tierra con gran tradici\u00f3n en la historia econ\u00f3mica del pa\u00eds durante todo el siglo XX, es hoy una realidad que tiene a esta regi\u00f3n como el m\u00e1s importante destino tur\u00edstico continental en todo Colombia, gracias en buena parte a la declaratoria que le hiciera la Unesco a este territorio, y a parte del norte vallecaucano, como Paisaje Cultural Cafetero de la Humanidad.
\nPara miles de familias en Caldas, Risaralda, Quind\u00edo y Norte del Valle la llamada ‘industria sin chimeneas’ significa el sustento diario y la esperanza de mejorar los ingresos que les permita cubrir sus necesidades b\u00e1sicas de alimentaci\u00f3n, educaci\u00f3n y salud. Aunque los tres departamentos cuentan con importantes atractivos, el Quind\u00edo es el que ha logrado consolidar de mejor manera esta actividad, con un promedio de 500 mil visitantes anuales entre ellos cerca de 20 mil extranjeros.
\nPor esa raz\u00f3n hoy el turismo en un rengl\u00f3n estrat\u00e9gico de la regi\u00f3n, que busca consolidar su oferta no s\u00f3lo para visitantes nacionales, sino tambi\u00e9n internacionales, a los que adem\u00e1s se les ofrecen circuitos que cubren los tres departamentos, desde la nieves perpetuas del Nevado del Ruiz, cerca de Manizales, las aguas termales de Santa Rosa de Cabal, en Risaralda, los parque tem\u00e1ticos del Quind\u00edo, \u00fanicos en el pa\u00eds, el avistamiento de aves, los recorridos por las fincas cafeteras y toda la tradici\u00f3n cultural de sus pueblos de encanto engalanados por una bell\u00edsima arquitectura colonial y la calidez de sus habitantes.<\/p>\n

\nThe possibility of selling visitors the beauty of a land with an enormous tradition on the economic history of the country is a reality that, as of today, places the region as the most important national continental touristic destination, thanks mostly, to the declaration by UNESCO of this territory as Cultural Heritage of Mankind.
\nThousands of families in Caldas, Risaralda and Quind\u00edo have made the most out of the so called \u201cno-chimney industry\u201d (tourism) to alleviate their financial problems and boost income to cover their basic needs. Even as the three departments have a huge appeal, it is Quind\u00edo the one which has excelled on this front with over 500,000 annual visitors, 20,000 of them being foreigners.
\nThis is why tourism is a strategic sector in the region, trying to consolidate its national and international appeal offering circuits which cover all 3 departments, from the perpetual snow at Nevado del Ruiz (close to Manizales) to the hot springs in Santa Rosa de Cabal (Risaralda) to the unique theme parks in Quind\u00edo. Birdwatching , coffee farm tours and the cultural tradition of the so called Charming Towns stand out as appealing choices people look for. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
