Guatapé & Coffee farm, all in one day
Overview
We'll visit a coffee plantation in Guatapé, where we learn from local farmers everything about the coffee process, from sowing the seed to drinking a cup of coffee, there you can collect the coffee and being for a while a coffee farmer.
As we are in Guatapé, we have to go to the rock
We continue heading to the boulder, get ready to climb more than 708 steps to reach the top, that adorns the landscape of eastern Antioquia and enjoy a breathtaking 360 degrees view from the dam and surrounding areas to capture unforgettable pictures.
Then we go to the town, where we enjoy lunch before strolling around the most important landmarks of a town full of color, friendly people and corners with fascinating stories that we are going to share with you, how the tradition of "zócalos" (house facades painted) started and why is important for the inhabitants; if you are a chocolate lover, there's a shop waiting for you, also you will have time to buy handicraft from the local stores.

The entire experience was amazing! We spent a whole day with our guide Julio who did a great job! He laid out our entire day, was very knowledgeable, accommodating to any of our request, friendly and personable. 100% recommend taking this tour! You are taken to a coffee farm where you actually get a real experience on the amount of work it takes for us to drink our daily doses. You pick some coffee beans and go through the entire process to end with a fresh cup of coffee. We visited Guatape which was an amazing City, very colorful, full of welcoming folks, & the umbrella street is a must see! Climbing up the piedra del Peñón was not as bad as it looks! It is a must for the views you get from the top! Takes about 15 min to climb Bring confortable walking shoes/ clothes and you should all set!l_raj2018

The coffee tour was so interesting and we had the best cup of coffee which was needed to help us walk up the rock. Juan was the best and had really great insight about the area and culture. I will book them again when I return. Thank you for such a great day!gabrieldW8989QR

This tour is a 10/10 all around, an unforgettable experience!! Oscar is extremely knowledeable and willing to answer any and all questions you may have. The fruit tasting was great as I was able to taste a bunch of fruits I’ve never even heard of (yet were delicious). The coffee farm experience is truly once in a lifetime—the local farmer teaches you how coffee is made from seed and seedling to the pouring of the final product in your cup, as well as getting to pick your own coffee beans. You also benefit from being away from all the huge tourist groups and in your small group with Oscar so you can even ask the coffee farmer himself any questions. Then, we headed to the big boulder (it was raining, oh well), but at the top was still a sight to see because we were essentially higher than the clouds due to the elevation which made for a cool but different experience. Then we headed to a local restaurant in Guatapé that Oscar knew about which serves up authentic foods and flavors. Finally, we strolled the colorful streets of Guatapé admiring the zócalo facades while Oscar explained the meaning behind it all. If you’re visiting Medellín, this tour is 100% a must do, you will not regret it!
