Highlights
- ✓Learn how coffee gets made from bean to cup
- ✓Enjoy a delicious breakfast and lunch on the farm
- ✓A central meeting point makes for a seamless start
- ✓A private tour means more attention from your guide
What you'll see & do
- ✓️Departure from The Cranky Croc Hostel – Bogotá Our bilingual guide will greet you inside the Cranky Croc Hostel, where your immersive coffee journey begins. After a brief check-in and orientation, guests board a comfortable tourism van for a scenic drive into the Andean countryside. This central hostel is not just a meeting point—it’s the launchpad for a rural adventure into Colombia’s coffee heritage.
- ✓Upon arrival at the rural coffee farm nestled in the Andean hills outside Bogotá, travelers are warmly welcomed by local hosts. The day begins with a traditional Colombian breakfast tasting featuring local baked specialties and coffee brewed in a rustic olleta. Surrounded by misty hills and birdsong, this authentic introduction sets the tone for an immersive journey into Colombia’s coffee culture.
- ✓Coffee Plantation Walk Travelers are guided through sloping coffee fields in the Andean foothills, learning about the life cycle of the bean — from seed to harvest. The walk invites a deeper connection with nature while offering stunning views of the surrounding mountains. Visitors may even spot local wildlife along the way.
- ✓Workshop & Coffee Tasting Guests dive into a hands-on coffee workshop where they learn about sustainable cultivation, bean selection, and local brewing traditions. The session contrasts two authentic methods: a hearty “campesino-style” brew served in the morning, prepared in a traditional olleta using pre-ground coffee, and later, a barista-style tasting using a French press, with beans freshly ground on-site by the campesina host. This tasting ritual invites guests to savor the diversity of Colombia’s coffee culture in one unforgettable experience.
- ✓Return Trip to Bogotá – The Cranky Croc Hostel After lunch and closing activities at the coffee farm, guests board the van once more for the return journey to Bogotá. The drive offers one last look at Colombia’s countryside and a chance to reflect on the day’s immersive experience. Drop-off is at The Cranky Croc Hostel.
