Finca Lugar - Perfect!
We spent a wonderful morning at Finca Lugar in Salento, where our guide Marlon introduced us to organic coffee, taking us through the entire process — from growing and processing the beans to roasting. We ended the experience with a fantastic coffee tasting.
A great experience for coffee lovers, but definitely enjoyable for everyone!

Excellent and worthwhile experience.
You will enjoy your coffee more after this experience. Steven was an excellent guide with humour and knowledge. The time flew by. We learned about the whole process and picked sone coffee beans, saw the drying and roasting process and of course drank coffee. I will know what to look for when buying coffee at home!!!

Highly recommend this coffee tour
Could not recommend this experience more! My guide Marlon was absolutely fantastic. He was extremely friendly and shared a ton of information with me on how to grow coffee beans, roast them, and then prepare coffee. The coffee they make here is fantastic and was probably the best I had during my stay in Colombia's coffee region. There are a lot of coffee farms that do tours but this one really sets itself a part from the others due to the quality of its guides and coffee.
Operator response
Thank you so much for this incredible review! We’re truly delighted to hear that your experience with Marlon exceeded your expectations. It’s wonderful to know that his knowledge, passion, and friendly approach made the coffee-making process so engaging and memorable. We’re especially happy that you considered the coffee from our farm to be the best you tasted in Colombia’s Coffee Region. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with Marlon. Thank you for your heartfelt recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure in Colombia!

Brilliant morning spent with Steven
Neither of us entirely knew what we were letting ourselves in for with this tour, but we felt being in the coffee triangle we had to do a coffee farm tour, and it was an absolutely brilliant way to spend a morning.
Steven, our guide, was just fab. He was knowledgable and engaging with so many anecdotes and insights into the whole coffee process; from growing, picking, preparing, drying, roasting and lastly enjoying a nice cup of fresh coffee!
After an initial lesson into all things coffee, we got dressed for the part of coffee farmer before we headed out into the plantation to pick some of the ripe coffee cherries. We then got to see first hand what happens to the cherries once they are picked, helping to prepare the beans for drying and then roasting. The roasting process was impressive, and then the intricate brewing process made us all a very yummy cuppa
It was a great tour, with the added joy of some tasty homemade snacks when we came back in from the coffee fields!
I would 100% recommend this tour.

Solid a bit pricey for what it is
It was a very good tour. The guide explained everything well and the transportation was adequate. I think it’s pricey for the offering and less than an hour tour on the farm, but if convenience is a priority highly recommend.
Operator response
Thank you for your honest and thoughtful review. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the tour, found the guide’s explanations clear, and were satisfied with the transportation.
We appreciate your feedback regarding the duration and value of the farm experience—this is very helpful for us as we continue to refine and set expectations for our tours. It’s great to know that, despite this, the overall convenience made it worthwhile for you.
Thank you again for sharing your perspective, and we hope to welcome you back to Colombia with Gran Colombia Tours in the future!

Coffee tour par excellence!
This is a family run small farm, beautiful scenery, really learned about the whole process from bean to coffee in the cup. Our guide Nico was very knowledgable, helpful and attentive, as well as learning about the process you get to go into the ‘fields’, and pick the bean, we were given a tasty plantain snack and we drank the coffee we roasted and ground. Fully recommend this tour, we were a small group of 4, so the tour felt very personalised.
Operator response
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so glad you enjoyed such a personalized and immersive visit to the coffee farm, from learning the full process to tasting the final cup. It’s wonderful to hear Nico made it so engaging with his knowledge and attentive approach. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back to Colombia with Gran Colombia Tours!
