Santa Rosa de Cabal stands out as one of the most vibrant coffee-producing regions in Risaralda. The farm hosting this coffee tour in the Coffee Region remains actively operational, offering a unique blend of daily work and hospitality to travelers while preserving its authentic essence.

The environment enhances the experience: you're not merely observing coffee; you're immersed in it. Spend four hours at a coffee farm in Risaralda where the process is genuine, guided by a local coffee picker, culminating in a cup that embodies your own efforts.

Tour Description

The journey kicks off with a convenient hotel pickup in Pereira, followed by a transfer to the picturesque farm in Santa Rosa de Cabal. Upon arrival, participants are outfitted in traditional coffee farmer gear, including a hat, poncho, and basket, before delving into the coffee plantations.

The adventure starts at the nursery, where coffee plants begin their lifecycle before being planted. The tour then progresses to the active coffee plantations, where participants handpick the ripe beans. This simple, time-honored gesture offers a connection to the land that words cannot fully convey.

The farm features a parabolic solar dryer, a rare technology showcased by few coffee tours in Colombia. The tour meanders through the farm's guadua bamboo forest—a distinctive ecosystem of the Coffee Region—with viewpoints crafted from the very guadua bamboo grown on-site.

The experience concludes in a traditional farmhouse, guided by a local coffee picker. The coffee offered is the very same you harvested at the tour's outset: a coffee experience in Risaralda that circles back to the beginning, ending with a cup of locally sourced coffee in your hands.
