Colombia is famous for its coffee, so what better place to learn everything there is to know about coffee than Colombia!
During this tour, you will see each step of the coffee cultivation process—from understanding how to identify ripe coffee cherries and harvesting them to pulping, drying, and brewing the beans. Last but not least, you will get to taste the coffee after roasting the beans the old-fashioned way.
This tour is centred around coffee, but you will also get the chance to learn about the indigenous Panche people who inhabited the area outside of Bogota. About 30,000 Panche lived in what are now the departments of Cundinamarca and Tolima around the time of the Spanish conquest. They were strong warriors and often fought with a neighbouring group called the Muisca.
The Panches had a rich spiritual life, worshipping nature and ancestral spirits. Although much of their culture was suppressed during colonization, their legacy persists in the region's traditions, oral histories, and archaeological sites. Your tour guide will explain more about Colombia’s indigenous tribes and how they fit into today’s society.
The community of Tibacuy is a close-knit and vibrant community united by its cultural traditions and agricultural practices. Most residents are involved in farming and cultivating coffee, fruits, and flowers, which form the source of the local economy.
During this day tour from Bogota, you will interact with hardworking coffee farmers who have been cultivating this product for generations. Spend time talking and learning from these locals who are passionate about their trade and can’t wait to teach you everything they know about coffee.

During the day tour, you will have the opportunity to taste some delicious local snacks, such as: Arepas and cakes made of "chachafruto” or “balu,” a type of bean found only in America that has been a very traditional and popular food in this area of Colombia.
