Detailed itinerary

1

Hidden among the Andes Mountains, this small and peaceful farm, surrounded by lush coffee landscapes, we’ll experience an authentic Colombian coffee tour in a truly spectacular setting.

During the visit, you’ll learn every stage behind a great cup of coffee, starting with the coffee plant itself and the conditions that make Colombian coffee so special. We’ll walk through the coffee fields while explaining the harvesting process, including how ripe coffee cherries are carefully selected by hand.

Next, we’ll explore the processing stages, where the beans are pulped, fermented, washed, and dried — essential steps that define the coffee’s flavor and aroma. You’ll also learn about roasting techniques, how different roast levels affect taste, and what makes each cup unique.

The experience concludes with a freshly brewed coffee tasting, where you’ll learn how to properly smell, taste, and appreciate Colombian coffee, all while enjoying panoramic mountain views.

Step back in time as you explore one of Colombia’s most historic colonial towns — the former capital of Antioquia before Medellín.

Founded over 475 years ago, this beautifully preserved town was once one of the most prosperous cities in the country.

As you walk through its original stone-paved streets, you’ll notice that time seems to have stood still: colorful colonial balconies, wooden doors, clay-tiled roofs, and centuries-old churches remain exactly as they were hundreds of years ago.

During our guided walking tour, we’ll explore the town’s historic streets, main squares, parks, and churches, immersing ourselves in stories of conquest, trade, faith, and daily life during the Spanish colonial era. This experience offers a rare opportunity to travel back to colonial times and feel the atmosphere of a place that has preserved its soul for generations.

Perfect for history lovers, culture seekers, and travelers looking to experience the authentic colonial heart of Colombia.

This architectural jewel is one of a kind in Colombia.
It was designed by José María Villa, a visionary and unconventional engineer who also participated in the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge in New York.

Known for challenging the engineering norms of his time, Villa defied traditional construction methods to create what would become one of Antioquia’s most important infrastructure projects. The bridge dramatically transformed regional travel by connecting Santa Fe de Antioquia and Olaya, two towns once separated by the powerful Cauca River — the second-largest river in Colombia.

Standing above the river, this historic bridge is not only an engineering milestone, but also a symbol of innovation, courage, and the determination that helped shape the region’s development.
