Step-by-step itinerary

Coffee tour at La Palma plantation

• Arrive at La Palma and El Tucán plantation
• Explore agro-ecological coffee cultivation
• Participate in guided coffee tasting
• Learn to identify coffee flavors and aromas
• Take nature walks around the plantation
• Relax in natural and sustainable environment

The experience

The tour stays inside the facilities of Café de la Palma and El Tucan, so you're not traveling between distant sites. Everything happens on the working plantation itself. You'll move through the agro-ecological cultivation areas, see how the coffee is processed, and learn to identify flavor and aroma notes in a guided tasting of specialty coffees. Nature walks let you explore the local ecosystem without leaving the plantation grounds, and the whole day unfolds in an environment built around sustainability.

Private transportation picks you up from Bogota and brings you back, so the nine hours on the plantation are the only part you're managing. Lunch is included, and coffee or tea comes with the tasting. A live guide in English or Spanish walks you through each stage: the regenerative agriculture methods, the processing steps, and what to listen for and taste in the cup itself.
