Overview
We live in a country of misty mountains, valleys, rich soil, and hardworking people. All that together creates the perfect conditions for growing coffee. This has been a major development driver and a reason for pride for every Colombian. As a result, we are one of the main coffee producers and we grow the best arabica coffee worldwide. With just a 2-hour drive southwest of Bogotá, the weather gets warmer and an awarded high-quality coffee is grown carefully among steep mountains, dense native forests, and low-flying clouds. La Palma & El Tucán is a self-sustained farm that not only produces speciality coffee but they also benefit coffee-growing families in the region, supporting fair-trade and eco-farming.

What you will be doing
As you reach the destination, you will feel a slight temperature change - a few degrees warmer at approx. 1,600m, which opens the possibility of coffee growing close to the big city. Among lush green mountains and slow-paced clouds, you will enter the farm, passing through their speciality coffee plantations until you reach the coffee bar area. You will be greeted with a warm, fresh and aromatic welcome a special coffee brewed carefully to highlight the exquisite flavours of Colombian Coffee.
After enjoying your coffee and being introduced to the place, you will receive an explanation of how they benefit local farmers by purchasing their best quality cherries. The farm buys at the best international price and runs workshops on organic fertilisers and the best soil management for the farmers. You will witness the different stages of the coffee process - starting with the seeds, moving on to transplantation, crops and harvest. You will visit the organic compost shed and production warehouse, visit the machinery behind the process, and learn the steps needed to turn recently picked coffee beans into the coffee you see packaged on the markets.
Finally, you will enjoy a delicious lunch prepared with ingredients from the farm. Afterwards, you can taste 3 different coffees learning more from the local guide before returning to Bogota along an impressive scenic drive.
