The tour was easy, we were picked up and dropped off at our hotel and all the details were arranged for us - we were just along for the ride! The drive is about 3 hours each way, so it makes for a long day, but well worth it to see the beauty of the mountains and explore how coffee is made. We especially loved the town of Jardin, such a special place. We would definitely recommend this trip to friends!”

He picked us up from our hotel and we spent the day learning about the planting of the coffee seed to how it’s processed. We did some hands on berry picking and saw how it’s pulped, dried and we roasted and ground some beans ourselves to enjoy the perfect cup! He also gave us great recommendations on what to do in the city and restaurants. I’d highly recommend this tour.”

We took extra activity in local bus called Chiva (it can be in jeep, tuk-tuk or on a horse) and had wonderful time going in and around Jardin. It may not be for individuals or couples due to cost but well worth it if in a larger group. Thanks to Jhon the guide and Leo the driver and also Juan the Chiva driver for lovely experience.”
