What to expect

Embark on a tour from Salento to the heart of the Colombian coffee belt. This journey offers an immersive experience into the world of Colombian coffee.

Departing from Salento, you'll head towards a local coffee farm, travelling in a 4x4 off-road vehicle fondly known as a "yipao" by locals. This vehicle has been a trusted companion of regional coffee growers since it arrived in Colombia in 1946.

Upon reaching the farm, you'll receive an introduction to the origins of coffee. You'll uncover the story behind the bean and understand how this region has become a global leader in producing top-notch coffee. You'll tour the plantation, discovering various stages of coffee production - from planting to preparation. You'll discover traditional practices by participating in harvesting, pulping, drying, threshing, roasting, and grinding.

Each season offers a distinctive and insightful experience about the transformation of the bean into a cup of coffee. This activity is designed for those wishing to explore a Salento coffee farm, experience the production process firsthand, and savour the essence of the Colombian coffee tradition.
