The experience

The tour leaves Antigua's historical center and heads to La Azotea, the region's leading coffee plantation. There you taste coffee directly from the production area while learning the process and methods that make Guatemalan coffee rank among the world's best. The guide walks you through how the farm operates and what sets this region apart.

From coffee, the route continues to Valhalla, an experimental macadamia plantation dedicated to sustainable agriculture and rainforest preservation. Over two decades, the project has planted and maintained macadamia trees while educating indigenous farmers in land stewardship. You learn the nutritional facts and ecological benefits of macadamia, and how this model of agriculture addresses climate change by healing the landscape rather than depleting it.

The tour runs four hours total and suits all fitness levels. Children from age one are welcome when accompanied by an adult, though a minimum of four people per booking is required.
