1. Visiting cheese farm HolaAndes for real Dutch cheese<\/h2>\n

Looking for a beautiful, delicious and special destination in Colombia? Then cheese farm HolaAndes is for you. In 2015, Tobias Rijnsdorp quit his job at Heineken in The Netherlands to produce Gouda cheese locally in Colombia. A fantastic idea that grew into a success. And not only among Colombians, as Dutch people living in Bogot\u00e1 are also gratefully taking advantage of the Dutch cheese that is now available just around the corner. Or well, around the corner … a visit to the cheese farm means a trip off the beaten path, far away from everything and everyone, in a valley that just 10 years ago was dominated by the FARC. So worth a visit for several reasons! Curious about more? Read all about (visiting) cheese farm HolaAndes here!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\t\t
