You will also visit the Macadamia farm and various historically rich villages.
Coffee Tour
Just like a great artist, the workers love their coffee and create different patterns as they lay the coffee out to dry on the large patio made of special clay tiles designed to absorb moisture and dry the coffee as best as possible. The beans are ripe and ready to be harvested when they turn a bright red color; some call it "red gold," others refer to it as "green gold." This "gold" is the livelihood of thousands of families in Guatemala. To ensure that future generations can enjoy the fruit of this beautiful plant, new seedlings are planted every year, and improvements are tested to achieve better results in each harvest. The driver will take you on a journey of just 10 minutes to Finca Filadelfia, for a "Coffee Tour" where you can learn the entire process from seed to final harvest and roasting, with the opportunity to taste it at the end of the tour.
Artisanal Coffee Tour
Our coffee tours are authentic, a true experience. On this tour, a farmer will take you to their fields on the slopes of Volcán Hunahpú. Then, you'll have the opportunity to learn the artisanal process of coffee processing, and you can even try the equipment yourself, which may include using a pedal-powered coffee huller, among other things. Additionally, you'll get to taste a cup of the artisanal coffee that you helped process.
