Private Coffee Tours in Colombia

private Colombia tours

Since the 19th century, Colombia has been renowned for producing fine coffee of exceptional quality and flavor. Most of the country’s prized arabica beans are grown and processed in the Coffee Triangle, a beautiful mountainous region in central Colombia that’s been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its traditional farming methods and well-preserved villages. A visit to the coffee plantations and towns of the region is perfect for coffee enthusiasts and travelers interested in history, culture, crafts and scenery.
