Coffee Tour Adventure Antigua Guatemala
Description
Coffee Tour Experience Begin your journey in the charming town of San Pedro Las Huertas, where we’ll visit the central park and observe the traditional pila (public laundry), still used daily by local families. From there, we walk toward the foothills of the majestic Agua Volcano, surrounded by lush landscapes and authentic rural life. Along the way, you’ll explore coffee plantations and also learn about other crops and wild plants that thrive in this fertile volcanic soil. With a local small-scale farmer, you’ll discover the artisanal process of coffee—from seed to cup—participating in every step. You’ll roast, grind, and finally taste a delicious cup of freshly brewed coffee that you helped prepare. To end the experience, you’ll have the unique opportunity to purchase coffee directly from the producer, supporting local families and sustainable community growth.

Our tour with Axel and the coffee farmer, Marta, was wonderful! We were a large group and they adjusted things to facilitate that. Definitely wear sturdy shoes for the walk to the coffee field! Axel answered all of our questions about coffee and Guatemalan culture with warmth, knowledge and humor. Marta gave us a warm welcome too and an engaging demonstration of how to grow the plants, and roast and grind the beans. The coffee was delicious. Our tour lasted 3 hours plus--but I'm not sure if that's typical.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted that you enjoyed your experience with Axel and Marta. Our coffee tour is designed to be flexible and personalized. The duration depends on each group's interaction, questions, and pace. Most tours last between 2 and 3½ hours, but if guests prefer a shorter experience, we’re happy to adapt it to around 1 to 1½ hours. Thank you for choosing B1 Experience. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back for another adventure in Guatemala!
Axel and Cristobal were excellent guides! We enjoyed learning more about the coffee growing and roasting process. We learned a lot about the surrounding area, plants and wildlife, and history of the indigenous people. Roasting, grinding, and brewing the coffee was so fun, and the coffee was fantastic! Great way to spend a morning in Antigua!

Easily one of the most engaging, interesting, and thoughtful experiences we had in Guatemala. Delmy and Cristobal are highly knowledgeable and kind. This was definitely worth every penny. We learned so much about the coffee farming and preparation process and even got a sense of adventure riding in the back of the pickup truck up those steep mountain roads. Wonderful and authentic experience all around.

The coffee plantation tour was an amazing experience! Never knew how much went into harvesting coffee. I appreciate all the hands that work so hard for this amazing beverage. Axel our tour guide along with Cristobal the owner of the plantation gave an excellent and informative tour. We ended our tour at Cristobal's sister's home where they showed us how to grind and brew coffee without modern conveniences. Coffee was delicious!
