You’ll learn about the origins of coffee in Costa Rica and how this farm keeps traditional methods alive. Your guide will show you how to pick ripe coffee cherries, roast the beans over a wood fire, and grind them using traditional tools. The experience is completely hands-on, letting you feel like part of the family rather than just a visitor.
Along the walk, you may spot native wildlife — many travelers have been lucky enough to see sloths resting in the surrounding trees.
