• Avenida Circunvalar - When people think of Colombia, one of the first things that come to mind is our coffee. We live in a country full of mountains, valleys, very rich soil, and hard working people. All that together creates the perfect conditions for growing coffee. This has been a major development driver and a reason for pride for every Colombian. As a result, we are one of the main coffee producers and we grow the best soft Arabic coffee worldwide.

In this coffee farm experience, you will travel an hour and a half from Bogotá going down the mountains to a small town at approximately 1500 MASL. At this altitude, the cold weather of Bogotá changes into a temperate and damp climate, which are optimal conditions for growing coffee. You will arrive at a producing coffee farm where you’ll be received with a fresh cup of coffee to start properly. As you sip your coffee, you will be introduced to the farm before moving on into the first stages of the coffee process.

• San Francisco - The first stage is seed sprouting, seedlings and transplantation to the field. You will learn how coffee plants are treated carefully from the very beginning to assure a good quality producing plant. You will then move onto the coffee crops where you’ll be able to see different coffee varieties and learn how to pick up and select the best coffee cherries.

After picking up some coffee cherries you will move onto processing. At this stage, you will see how coffee is washed, fermented and dried depending on the characteristics the coffee farmer wants to enhance. You will see traditional methods of processing and machines that have been used since the coffee boom in Colombia. Finally, you will return to the starting point to sip onto another cup of coffee and learn more directly from the coffee experts.

When the farm tour is over you will have a stop at San Francisco’s main square to enjoy a traditional lunch before returning to your hotel in Bogotá.
