  It was a wonderful day tour to Finca La Campesina, and a highlight of our trip to Bogotá. We had Nick, who was the most pleasant and knowledgeable guide, and just a nice person. He translated into English everything we were told on the farm, and also told us many interesting things about Colombia and Bogotá, where he grew up. There were only four of us, so the experience felt personal and almost private. Our day started with pickup at the Cranky Croc Hostel in the nice and safe part of La Candelaria. We drove for about an hour and a half east of Bogotá, first going up to 3000+ meters and then going down to 1800 meters above sea level, where Finca La Campesina is located. You really feel the altitude changes around Bogotá, so if you get carsick or are sensitive to elevation, be prepared for that. The farm itself is rather small, and everything feels quite personal there. There were no other tours at the same time, so we had a calm and private atmosphere. We started with a traditional farm breakfast with a breathtaking view and a cup of farmer’s coffee prepared with panela (which is raw cane sugar, you’ll also be told how it’s made), and then went through basically every step of coffee collection and processing. We learned the basics of coffee growing, did coffee cherry picking, saw it being weighed and evaluated, and then depulped. This farm uses the traditional wet processing method. We also got a great overview of Colombia’s coffee regions, saw how coffee is sun-dried (with a cat), and how it’s stored afterward. We finished with a coffee tasting prepared in a French press, along with an explanation of different brewing methods and what actually changes between them. At the end, we had Ajiaco con pollo for lunch. It’s the traditional Bogotá chicken soup with three kinds of potatoes, and it’s now one of my favourite meals. I honestly think it was the most delicious dish I had in Bogotá. The potato flavor was just on another level. Things to note and some advice: I wouldn’t expect to learn anything radically new if you’re a coffee geek. The tour focuses on very detailed basics, assuming you know little about coffee. But you’ll still very much enjoy the whole experience if you simply like coffee and want to see how it’s made on a real farm. The farm has a small and lovely souvenir and coffee shop with very reasonable prices, and they accept card payments. We had a 125-gram coffee sample included, and bought another 250-gram pack for 30000 pesos. They also had 1-pound packs that were a bit cheaper per weight. They even sell good-quality handmade ponchos for 50000 pesos, which we found really great, along with smaller souvenirs. If you didn't have enough and want another quality cup a of coffee after getting back to the city, there’s a great coffee shop called Café Nos basically across the street from Cranky Croc Hostel. They can walk you through V60/Chemex preparation and give you a proper little coffee tasting experience for no extra cost. Just ask about it and stay on the first floor. Regarding the tour itself, you can find more details about it on the True Colombian Experience website. We also booked it through them. They offer many other interesting experiences as well. We found the communication extremely pleasant and seamless, which is why we chose them in the first place, and we didn’t regret it for a second. It went beyond our rather high expectations.

  This was such an amazing and worthwhile day. We learned so much about coffee farming and have a new appreciation for coffee. This activity was worth the money and I definitely recommend it. The surrounding mountains are spectacular.

  Undoubtedly a great experience, from before leaving and during the whole journey to the farm the guide Juan gave a wide information about Colombia and the different ecosystems that we were crossing At the Estate the Karen guide will also explain in a clear and detailed way the entire coffee production process The staff at the Finca were very friendly and the food they prepared was very rich 100% recommended this tour

  Perfect day to spend in the beautiful nature and the countryside outside Bogotá. The hosts were very welcoming and lead us through the world and mystery of the coffee. They also served us breakfast and lunch with a magnificent view. Juan the guide was top.

  I cannot speak highly enough of this experience. The pickup point is a really beautiful hostal in the middle of La Candelaria which is very tourist friendly and safe (and they serve great coffee). Our guide Liz picked us up from there and we got in a 20 person van with our driver Jorge to start our excursion. The ride up the mountain was gorgeous and Liz did a great job telling us all about the city, the mountain and the flora and fauna that drastically changes as we go up the mountain and come down the other side. When we arrived to La Campesina we were welcomed by the owner and her "security" team which are the cutest and friendliest dog group. They don't bark and won't approach you if you don't want to but if you do, they are the sweetest. We had a delicious local breakfast and started with the tour. The farm is an agroecologic operation run by women and Karen was our farm guide. We learned all from how they make the different types of fertilizer to how they grow the plants, the harvest process, the differences between the types of coffee plants and how the coffee cherries are turned into the delicious coffee beans we know. Since we visited during harvest season we even got to pick our own baskets of coffee cherries which was super fun, especially with the gorgeous view from the farm. Then we got to learn all about the different types of brewing and how to recognize good coffee from bad one finishing with a delicious tasting of course. We ended the tour with a delicious ajiaco lunch and headed back to the city. This is truly an experience no one should miss while visiting Bogotá. 10/10 in every aspect!

  A wonderful experience! I’ve visited coffee farms before but this the best experience- you are welcomed with a nice breakfast, learn so much about coffee from a plant seed all the way to a cup! You get your hands dirty picking the fruit and go through the whole process, so you get a good appreciation for all that goes into it! Lunch was yummy and nice souvenirs too. I highly recommend. Women owned and operated, high quality coffee A+++! The dogs are also really cute- say hi to little Rihanna! ☺️

• Don’t skip this!

  We had a great time. It’s a bit of a long drive but the whole experience is well worth it for coffee connoisseurs. Do not skip!! It is a most of the day affair as well just a heads up.
