This opportunity will take you to tour the farm and drive by thousands of coffee plants, buy freshly roasted export-quality coffee straight from the source, beans, or ground, and see the panoramic view that overlooks the entire valley and farm below.
During the tour, you will learn all the steps involved in growing, harvesting, and processing a coffee bean and will see first-hand what it takes to transform ripe coffee cherries into the finest coffee in the world. This opportunity will give you a deeper perspective of why Colombian coffee competes with the best coffees in the world, such as Kona Coffee, Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee, and Kopi Luwak. Depending on the tour schedule, you may have lunch at a restaurant near the Cauca River or a traditional lunch at a nearby farm, either on the way back to Medellín or before visiting the farm.

Beyond expectations! Then again we weren't sure what to expect. Lovely stay at the lodge, met other like-minded travelers (many had their trips planned by Adventure Life) and the owner was a gracious hostess. It felt like you were one happy family, visiting with a favorite aunt.

The pre-planning and execution of the plan was excellent. They were even able to help get glasses returned when a member or our party left them in a hotel.

What made our Costa Rica experience great was the wonderful places we stayed and transportation to get to our different areas to visit was excellent! The white water rafting and the snorkeling & dolphin watching were really fun!
