Follow a coffee expert through the plantation to learn each step of the process. You'll get hands-on by planting seedlings and harvesting cherries, then observe the drying, roasting, and sometimes grinding of the beans most of which is still done by hand.

Enjoy a guided tasting session where local baristas will teach you how to identify the traits of high-quality Colombian coffee while answering all your questions.
