Another Amazing Experience with True Colombia Experiences! - I had an amazing experience on my second tour in one month with True Colombia Experiences — this time visiting the beautiful coffee region of Choachí for the Coffee Farm Tour at La Campesina. My first tour with them was La Chorrera Falls, and once again the experience exceeded expectations. A huge thank you to our wonderful guide, Natalia, and our driver (apologies, I forgot his beautiful name), who made the day so enjoyable, welcoming, and seamless from beginning to end (in both Spanish and English). At La Campesina, the owner Mari gave us a fascinating and authentic tour of the coffee farm, explaining every stage of the process — from planting and picking the coffee beans to fermenting, washing, and drying them. It was incredible to learn how detailed, time-sensitive, and caring the entire process is before coffee finally reaches your cup each day. The food throughout the day was also fantastic. We enjoyed a delicious traditional breakfast with a tamale, fresh fruit, and hard boiled egg. Lunch included vegetarian beans, rice, potatoes, and salad, or chicken with Colombia’s famous Ajiaco Soup. After lunch, we participated in an educational and enjoyable coffee class and tasting led by one of the longtime coffee farm experts with seven years of experience (apologies, I forgot her name as well). Everyone even left with a fun souvenir after the coffee quiz — a bag of La Campesina coffee! This was truly a memorable experience full of learning, culture, beautiful scenery, delicious food, and wonderful people. Muchísimas gracias to the La Campesina team and the True Colombian Experiences team!

Amazing coffee experience - This was the most incredible experience. We really learnt what goes into our cup of coffee. On arrival we were given a hearty breakfast and a small lesson about the farm. We then went walking through the lifecycle of the coffee. We saw immature plants, learnt how coffee is collected, collected our own coffee berries. We saw how they are washed and dried. We were the given a tasting of the farms coffee and a small sample to take away. It was an amazing day and treat for a coffee lover

This tour was a rich and immersive cultural experience. - This tour was an incredible experience. The drive to and from the farm was beautiful. It was very informative and an immersive experience in the lives of coffee farmers. Our guide Marta was incredibly fun and helpful! We even got to try the coffee from the farm and it was delicious. Definitely recommend if you’re interested in immersing yourself in the culture of Bogotá.

La Campesina - The time slips by because you are so engrossed. I am not a coffee drinker but I enjoyed the experience. Marcela was engaging and my tour guide ensured she translated when I was unsure . Very hands on and a brilliant experience. Elsa

A one-of-a-kind experience and a must for coffee lovers - 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.
