At a coffee farm in Pereira, located just a few kilometers from the bustling city center, a fourth-generation family, predominantly led by women, continues to cultivate the same land their ancestors did. This tour offers a unique and memorable experience: planting a coffee tree with your own hands on an authentic farm steeped in history.

Over the course of 4 hours, you will immerse yourself in the operations of a working coffee farm, experiencing the entire Colombian coffee process and leaving your mark by planting your very own tree on this historic land.

Tour Description


The journey kicks off with a convenient hotel pickup in Pereira and a transfer to the farm. Guests are greeted warmly amidst the coffee plants with a traditionally prepared cup of coffee and an introduction to the family's history before the adventure begins. Prior to venturing into the plantations, each person is outfitted in authentic coffee farmer clothing—a poncho, hat, and basket—adding a touch of cultural immersion to the experience.

The guide provides insights into the planting process, harvest cycles, and the factors that influence the quality of the beans at this esteemed Risaralda coffee farm. The highlight of the tour is when each guest plants their very own coffee tree in Colombia on the grounds of a fourth-generation family farm. This farm has been cultivating coffee for decades, utilizing the same meticulous methods passed down from their ancestors.

Following this, participants engage in hands-on activities with the coffee beans: harvesting them directly from the coffee plantations and processing them using the vintage machinery the family employed years ago, juxtaposed with modern equipment. This is not a mere theoretical lesson—it’s an exploration of the technical advancements in Colombian coffee through the use of authentic tools from different periods.

The concluding segment of this Pereira coffee tour features a tasting session of filter coffee, complemented by homemade cake and a surprise product revealed to the group on-site. This marks the perfect finale to a Colombian coffee experience, where participants engage deeply with the entire process, from planting to savoring the brewed cup.
