The Cameron Hotel is great Hotel where you can spend you vacations. It has great rooms and great food. You have buffet as breakfast and as dinner. Also this Hotel offers you the attraction off Panaca, and a huge pool.
this is a plantation of la palma de cera. la palma de cera is a tree that is very hard to find, and each day there are less and less trees. you can go see the trees and plant them, just like we did in an activity we did with school and planted some trees. the trees is Colombias national tree.
you can also go visit coffee plantations, and the workers of the farm will show you around the farm and how everything works there. this farms are usually very big farms that can either be walked, or you can look at them in a jeep.
in this picture, you can see how in a school trip we went to a coffee farm, and one of the activities was to dress up as the people who work there and take a look at how they live. they also made us dance to tipical music and it was a really cool experience.
