About this experience
What is more exciting than doing a coffee tour in Colombia?
The answer is: do it in one of the most beautiful towns of Colombia and this is Jardin.
After you are picked up at your place in our private vehicle we head south-west of Medellin to get into the Colombian coffee region. The scenery throughout the drive is absolutely gorgeous.
Our first stop is the coffee farm where we are hosted by the warmest farmers, we have a cup of coffee with them and then we start to learn everything about coffee and every single step to process it from harvesting to packing.
One of the highlights of the tour is the home-made lunch we have in the farm, cooked with organic farm-grown ingredients.
Then we drive for 10 minutes to the town of Jardin, considered one of the most beautiful towns of Colombia.
We do a guided walking tour in the landmarks of the town and learn about its history.
Jardin is a cultural heritage in Colombia and when you get there you'll see why, it's simply magical.

After saying goodbye to this beautiful place we head down to Jardin: one of the top ten most beautiful towns in Colombia.
The colonial architecture, flowered balconies, smiles everywhere and fresh coffee in most of its shops, make it a place worth visiting.
In Jardin you make a guided walking tour through its cobbled streets, visiting the top landmarks.
Some of the places we will visit are a very rustic aerial car to commute from one mountain to another and Dulces del Jardin a perfect place for buying exotic sweets and sweeten your mouth after lunch.
After visiting Jardin and walking around the main places, interacting with its warm people and listen to its stories we head back to Medellin.
In the way back you can sleep in our comfortable cars if you feel like it, no worries we take you safely to your place.
This is indeed an unforgetable experience that we hope you decide to have it with us.
