A unique experience - A unique experience, the girls in charge are super friendly! They make you live the complete experience like a local planting coffee. The place is super cute and picturesque. I greatly appreciate the attention and kindness. I recommend it 100% and I would take it again if I return to Medellin. It's something you can't miss

Grounded: Beyond the Bean - This was by far the best experience during my 1-month stay in Medellín. From the winding road up to Parque Arví to the lush, sweeping views from the farm and, of course, the steam room and coffee bean exfoliation and massage -- what's not to love? But what was more enamoring was how our guide grounded marketing buzz words of "single origin" and "fair trade" in culture, tradition, and craftsmanship (and beans :)). Being a food liberalist, foodie, scientist and solo traveler - this was a tour that met all my needs. We walked through and participated in the entire process from bean to cup - it felt rewarding in a way to plant your own baby coffee plant and leave your name tag alongside it. There was plenty of down time to socialize or have quiet moments to sit and enjoy a fresh cup and take in the views overlooking the entire valley. I'll never forget how inspired I felt after visiting this beautiful farm and the kind folks I met along the way, Special thanks to our guide, Leandro for sharing your knowledge, kindness, and a piece of your home with us.

Great tour! - Despite it raining, it was one of my favorite tours in Medellin. The team was super responsive and communicated with me before and after the tour. I thoroughly enjoyed the spa treatment, making my own coffee and even planting my own tree. (I'll have to come back in two years!)
