Your day begins right at your doorstep as we pick you up and head north of Medellín—just an hour away—through breathtaking landscapes. Upon arrival, we're greeted by cacao farmers. We leave our vehicle at the cacao farm and begin a scenic 800-foot (approx. 250 meters) uphill hike to the coffee farm. Since there’s no road access, the trail can be steep, but we’ll take our time to enjoy the spectacular views. The hike takes about 10–15 minutes ascending and 8–10 minutes descending. As the trail is natural terrain, we recommend wearing trekking boots or shoes with good grip, especially if the ground is wet. At the coffee farm, the hosts welcome us with a cup of premium Colombian coffee. A coffee expert then provides a detailed introduction to Colombia’s rich coffee culture. We’ll then head to the plantation, where you’ll pick beans by hand and learn how to depulp, ferment, and dry them using traditional artisanal methods.

After brewing coffee using two traditional methods, we enjoy a delicious regional lunch with a stunning view and fresh farm-made lemonade. This is one of the most authentic and traditional meals of our region—rarely found in restaurants and truly exceptional. After lunch, there’s an opportunity to purchase freshly roasted coffee, if you’d like to take some home. With full hearts and full stomachs, we say goodbye to our coffee farmer hosts and begin our short walk to the next experience: the cacao farm. We begin with a deep dive into the world of chocolate, covering essential topics such as: - The global history and production of chocolate. - How to maintain a healthy cacao plantation - Common cacao pests and sustainable control methods. By the end of this introduction, you'll have enough knowledge to consider starting your own cacao farm! Step 1: Harvesting Cacao Stroll through the plantation and explore cacao plants in their natural environment, alongside other local crops.
-
Step 2: Fermenting & Drying Back at the farm, we open the cacao pods to extract the sweet, raw seeds—which you can taste. These are placed in wooden boxes to ferment for six days, then dried in a solar greenhouse ("marquesina") Drying takes 5–10 days. Step 3: Roasting & Grinding We roast the beans over a wood fire giving the chocolate a subtle smoky flavor. After cooling, we remove the husks with our own nails and grind the beans until they melt from the heat of friction. Step 4: Crafting Your Chocolate Now for the fun part: you’ll mix your freshly ground chocolate with ingredients we provide like powdered milk, vanilla, green pepper, salt, lemon zest, or ginger—whatever inspires you. Once your chocolate creation is ready, we mold it and place it in the fridge to set. This is a unique farming tour where you experience real non-touristy farms where we grow and process the chocolate and coffee beans to produce premium quality products.
If it’s canceled due to poor weather, you’ll be offered a different date or a full refund.
