In the late 1980′s, Americans were bombarded with advertisements featuring Juan Valdez soliciting coffee from the Andes Mountains in Colombia with his mule “Conchita”.

A cup of coffee, known as “un tinto” in Columbia, is still a big part of the country’s culture, identity and economy.

Visions of freshly picked coffee sacks still provide reason to trek into the Colombian countryside and experience these magical fields.

Today, there are a slew of coffee tourism options in Colombia including an amusement park.

After factoring in weather, culture and crime into all the top Mexican vacation destinations, Cancun, in my opinion is the run away favorite.
