This full-day tour lasts about eight to nine hours and starts with pickup at the Cranky Croc Hostel in Bogotá. A bilingual guide welcomes guests and provides an introduction before traveling by air-conditioned van to a coffee farm located in the Andean countryside outside Bogotá. Upon arrival, visitors are greeted by local farmers and enjoy a traditional Colombian breakfast outdoors. The meal includes arepas, eggs, cheese, and freshly brewed coffee or hot chocolate prepared in a campesino style. After breakfast, the group takes a guided walk through the farm’s 5,000 coffee plants on sloping fields. The guide explains how to identify ripe coffee beans, describes sustainable farming methods without fumigation, and discusses how hand-picking affects the harvest. Visitors also learn about the farm’s natural ecosystem and the insects that contribute to its balance. Next, guests participate in a workshop led by a campesina farmer. They grind roasted coffee beans and brew a second cup using a French press, comparing this method to the morning’s olleta-style brew. If the season allows, visitors have the option to plant a coffee tree on the farm. Following the workshop, a traditional Colombian lunch is served in an open-air setting with views of the surrounding hills. The meal typically includes soup, grilled meats or vegetables, rice, plantains, and homemade sauces. After lunch, the group returns by van to Bogotá, arriving back at the Cranky Croc Hostel where the tour ends. The tour includes breakfast, lunch, tea and coffee, a coffee bag to take home, a professional bilingual guide, and air-conditioned transportation. Travelers should be prepared for moderate walking on uneven terrain and rural paths. The tour requires a minimum of two participants to operate.
