Detailed Description
We begin our fascinating day in the heart of Salento, the picturesque main park. From here, we head towards the coffee farm to immerse ourselves in the authentic world of Colombian coffee.
We will travel in the iconic Jeep Willys, or yipao, as it is popularly known, a vehicle that arrived in Colombia in 1946, and since then has been the right-hand man of the coffee growers in the region, since it easily manages to travel through the challenging roads that connect the crops with the town, and is capable of carrying more than 600 kilos per trip.
Once at the farm, we will receive an introduction to the origin of coffee that will take us to discover the story behind each bean and how this region has become a world reference in the production of high-quality coffee.
We will take a complete tour of the crop, exploring the various stages of the coffee production process, from planting to preparation. We will learn about traditional practices up close, participating in the harvesting, pulping, drying, threshing, roasting, and grinding. Each station will offer a unique and revealing experience about the transformation of the bean into the delicious cup of coffee we all enjoy.
This itinerary offers a complete experience for those who wish to explore a coffee farm from Salento, experiencing the production process up close and tasting the essence of the Colombian coffee tradition.
