★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 88 reviews · from $14Best value

At Finca El Ocaso, 4 km from Salento, an English-speaking guide leads you through coffee gardens, harvesting, composting, processing, drying, roasting, and traditional brewing. Guides such as Nicolas and Johnathan explain the work with humor and clear English. The 1.5-hour tour includes the farm visit and tasting, but not transport.

“We really enjoyed the coffee tour here and would highly recommend it. Johnathan was a great, funny tour guide with excellent English and he answered all of our questions about the process. It is possible to get a normal taxi out to the farm but it is cheaper to get the jeep back to Solento (it cost 4k pesos per person)”
