Don't miss La Campesina - The trip to the coffee farm La Campesina in Choachì was fantastic. Yuly was a nice and attentive guide. The experience of picking coffee beans myself and then seeing the further processing has shown me of how much work, care and knowledge is behind a good cup of organic coffee. This excursion is highly recommended.

Must experience - Having Nick as my guide was such an amazing experience! Even during the ride he would tell me something about Choachi and certain plants that only grows on protected areas. So knowledgeable about coffee farming and excellent english as well. Marcela was such an amazing host at the farm and it truly humbles you to get to know the origin of coffee and its processes. Definitely coming back to experience this again!

I guarantee you will not look at coffee the same way. - Being a coffee farmer for a day was an unforgettable experience! I was immersed in the rich culture and intricate process of coffee cultivation. The day started with a warm welcome from the local farmers, who shared their deep knowledge and passion for coffee production. I learned firsthand about the meticulous care that goes into growing and harvesting coffee beans, from tending to the plants to handpicking the ripe cherries. This activity allowed me to truly appreciate the labor of love behind every cup of coffee. I left with a deeper understanding of the journey from bean to cup and a heart full of gratitude for the opportunity to be a coffee farmer, if only for a day. I highly recommend this activity to anyone seeking a hands-on and enriching experience that celebrates the true essence of coffee culture. I guarantee you will not look at coffee the same way.
