Authentieke rondleiding op een koffieplantage in Monteverde met een lokale familie
Beschrijving
U leert niet alleen over koffie, u beleeft het ook van binnenuit op een familiefarm in het hart van de San Luis Valley in Monteverde. Deze tour wordt verzorgd door de familie Ramírez Brenes, al meer dan 30 jaar koffietelers. Zij openen de deuren van hun huis om niet alleen het koffiezetproces met u te delen, maar ook hun geschiedenis, hun kennis en hun manier van leven. Hier geen drukte of onpersoonlijke teksten. U kunt wandelen tussen orchideeën, ficusbomen, biologische landbouw en genieten van de frisse berggeuren. U brandt zelf koffie, bezoekt een oud huis vol herinneringen en geniet van een kopje koffie met huisgemaakt gebak van Doña Denia. Het voelt alsof u deel uitmaakt van de familie. Het is een intieme, authentieke en transformerende ervaring. Ideaal voor wie op zoek is naar het echte werk: direct contact met de natuur, de lokale cultuur en de ziel van Costa Ricaanse koffie.

This tour was absolutely outstanding - I can not recommend it highly enough. Book this every time over commercial coffee tours 💯 We had a full tour of the garden explaining all the different plants and coffee beans and the process of them growing as well as all the fruits, which we were able to sample. We then got to experience traditional and modern methods of preparing the beans with the chance to roast and sample your own beans - something that none of the commercial tours offer. You’ll never have a better opportunity to experience fresher coffee from bean to roast to cup. Victor and his family were so welcoming, giving us a private experience and gave us freshly made coffee and family baked goods at the end, along with the opportunity to purchase coffees in various forms (eg honey roast) at a fraction of the cost you pay in Monteverde. An absolute winner of an experience, thank you so much.
Very nice experience Small scale and cosy
Very nice visit, we were shown around by the family themselves. Delicious coffee afterwards
This was a really unique and wonderful experience! We wanted to experience some of the local culture and we're also coffee lovers, so this was perfect. We found out this is one of very few remaining small coffee farms that operate like this, and they have incredible product. The farm was especially unique since it felt more like a garden, with a variety of other plants and even a waterfall - very picturesque. The tour lead was also incredibly kind and knowledgeable.
If you're truly interested in learning about coffee, growing practices, and the history of coffee, this is the tour for you! Our knowledgeable guide was the brother-in-law of the owner, Victor, and he made us feel so welcome. You could tell the family is passionate about what they do and how they do it without relying on chemicals. Victor's farm was absolutely gorgeous and learning about the intricate thought and care put into the property was inspiring, especially in a world that so quickly resorts to shortcuts in order to chase a profit. During the tour, we were able to learn (sometimes hands-on) about the entire process of growing, harvesting, roasting, and brewing the coffee, as well as the history of those practices. Tasting the coffee at the end while enjoying home-baked bread was just the cherry on top!
