Description

This tour will take you to a coffee adventure just 45 minutes from Medellín in San Sebastián de Palmitas. We'll pick you up from your hotel and take you straight to our coffee farm. Once you arrive, you’ll get into the local spirit by dressing up in the traditional paisa outfit, with a hat, poncho, and a paruma. Here, you'll learn about coffee’s history and how it first made its way to Colombia. Then, you’ll head out to the coffee plantation, where you’ll get to pick coffee beans and learn all about the coffee-making process, from harvesting to drying. After this, you’ll cool down and taste other delightful coffee-based drinks, such as tea brewed from coffee pulp and mucilage (the honey-like substance that coats coffee beans). While the tour continues, we’ll treat you with a delicious local snack of sweet plantain topped with honey and cheese. Your guide will then show you how to brew and taste coffee like a pro. You’ll even get to try different types of coffee and learn what makes each one special. For lunch, enjoy a hearty paisa meal with rice, yuca, ground beef, boiled eggs, sausage, and plantain (can be modified if you have any dietary restrictions). Finally, before heading home, we’ll give you a pack of our coffee as a souvenir, and you'll have the opportunity to shop coffee or other unique farm products. If the option is chosen, also experience a 45-minutes horseback ride through the farm to some viewpoints. All instructions will be given to inexperienced riders!
