It's the most comfortable option, ideal for families and groups (up to 8 passengers per vehicle).
  • In your own vehicle: you can get there on your own using Google Maps or GPS. Keep in mind that part of the road is unpaved, so we recommend driving carefully and allowing extra time.
  • On foot or by bike: some farms are a short distance from Salento and are ideal for those who enjoy an easy walk or a bike ride through coffee landscapes.

Itinerary

It focuses on the historical and economic significance of coffee. Visitors will discover why the "golden bean" is a fundamental part of Colombia's identity and development, exploring its global importance. Then the journey goes back to coffee's origins, detailing the fascinating history that brought it from the highlands of Ethiopia to its flourishing in Colombia's fertile lands.

Hands-on learning begins with the techniques of germination and planting, revealing the secrets to nurturing a healthy coffee seedling. Next, we explore the crucial decision of variety selection, contrasting plantings aimed at maximizing production quantity with those devoted to achieving the highest quality and cup profile.

The highlight in the field is the harvest and picking, where visitors get to put what they've learned into practice, hand-selecting only the fruit at peak ripeness: the red cherries. The tour continues with a detailed explanation of the vital stages of pulping and fermentation, processes that define much of the final flavor, and wraps up in the field by showing the various traditional drying methods for the bean, essential for its preservation and quality.

After the immersion in the plantation, our visitors head to the farm's coffee lab. This space is dedicated to revealing the final secrets that turn the dry bean into an exceptional drink. Here, interactive workshops cover the stages of grinding and, above all, the art of roasting, the soul of flavor, as you learn to identify the perfect points to release the desired aromas and profiles.

The experience culminates with tasting and brewing techniques, where participants learn to distinguish and appreciate the nuances of high-quality coffee. Altogether, the Coffee Tour Entrebosques offers a complete, in-depth immersion covering the entire production cycle, from seed to cup, with a total duration of approximately one hour and thirty minutes of pure coffee flavor and knowledge.

This tour is highly recommended. Despite some communication issues, it was amazing. We were a family of 6 visiting the area for the first time. Our morning guide (when we went to Valle de Cocora) spoke English and was very patient. Two people in our family couldn't
