Private Coffee Farm & Hot Springs Tour from Pereira

Walk through the coffee process from plant to cup, then soak in mountain-fed thermal pools.

A private tour from Pereira combines a full morning on a traditional coffee farm in Santa Rosa de Cabal (where a local guide explains cultivation, harvesting, roasting and brewing) with an afternoon at Santa Rosa's thermal springs, hot pools and waterfalls. The 9-hour day includes round-trip transport, entrance to both sites, a guide in English or Spanish, water and medical assistance. Hotel pickup is flexible and can be arranged from Pereira or nearby towns. The pace adapts to whether your group wants to learn, photograph or relax.

The experience

The tour starts at your hotel in Pereira or a nearby pickup point you choose, then heads to a working coffee farm where a local guide walks you through every step of how coffee gets made. You'll see the plants growing, learn about harvesting and selection, watch the roasting process, and taste the final brew. The guide speaks English or Spanish and shares how coffee shaped the identity of Colombia's Coffee Axis. This part of the day is built for travelers who want to understand the crop, not just drink it.

After the farm, you move to Santa Rosa de Cabal's thermal springs: a natural site surrounded by mountains with hot pools fed by thermal water and waterfalls you can walk to. You'll have time to soak, explore the main areas and cool off. The operator recommends bringing swimwear, sandals, a towel and a warm layer since the weather can turn cool. The ground can be slippery, so watch your step in and around the pools.

Depending on how the day flows and how fast your group moves, there's a short stop in the town of Santa Rosa de Cabal itself, where you can take pictures, grab something to eat or get a feel for the local culture before heading back to Pereira. The whole experience is private (just your group and the driver), and the start and end times flex to fit your schedule. If you're traveling with luggage, you can leave your bags in the vehicle while you're at the farm and springs.
