Description

At your chosen time, we'll meet on Calle 32 #28-29 in Guatapé. From there, we'll travel to the coffee farm in the Vereda Bonilla neighborhood, located 20 minutes away by tuk-tuk.

Upon arrival, a local farmer will show us how the coffee beans are grown. We'll observe the careful selection of seeds and the daily control of their germination through proper irrigation techniques.

Inbetween phases, we'll learn intriguing facts about Colombian coffee, one of the most exported products in South America, including surprising statistics on annual exports.

We'll conclude our visit by tasting some local coffee, paying attention to its aromas, colours, and taste.
