We'll arrive at the Y viewpoint, located 1,200 meters above sea level. From here, we'll enjoy an amazing view of the region and the towns of Santa Marta and La Ciénaga Grande!
Next, we'll visit the La Cafetera coffee farm, where we'll learn everything about making coffee, from the planting of the bean to the cup. After the tour of the hacienda, we'll return to Minca to have lunch and visit the Coastal Coffee Growers Cooperative, Caficosta. We'll tour this place and then enjoy a demonstration of coffee beverage preparation and a coffee tasting.
Finally, we'll drop you off at your hotel after around 8 hours.
La Candelaria Coffee Farm Tour
At the time indicated, we'll pick you up from your hotel to begin this coffee tour from the city of Santa Marta.

We'll discover all the secrets of Colombian coffee, the country's star product, and then return to Minca to have a typical lunch. Afterwards, we'll visit the Coastal Coffee Growers Cooperative, Caficosta, where we'll learn about roasting processes, attend a demonstration of the preparation of coffee-based beverages, and enjoy a coffee tasting!
