Resilience with the Aroma of Coffee

From January 3 to January 11, our beloved Manizales del Alma becomes especially joyful as it celebrates its most important festivity. The 69th Manizales Fair has filled the capital of Caldas with a festive atmosphere, accompanied by the delicious aroma of our land—100% Colombian coffee.
As every year, the Fair and its main protagonists, the contestants of the Coffee Queen Pageant, will visit the Buencafé factory—this time on the morning of Thursday, January 8.
Representatives from 24 European, Central American, and South American nations will gather in Chinchiná, Caldas, to take part in a parade that will begin at 9:30 a.m. at the Buencafé facilities and tour the entire municipality, ending at the main park around 11:30 a.m.

This is an open invitation to all residents of Chinchiná and neighboring municipalities to join us and the Coffee Queen hopefuls in sharing a Buencafé, a Buen Día, and an unforgettable Fair—filled with the flavor of 100% Colombian freeze-dried coffee.
