Great views and nature - Spectacular tour of the coffee plantations and views of the Pixquiuac River with its waterfall full of vulture nests, great coffee tasting and a very complete breakfast. The attention of Ángel the guide inside the coffee plantation and of Marina in the museum has been spectacular, without a doubt much more than recommended. We liked it very much, if we can, we will definitely return.

Worth it! - This is a good activity to do if you like coffee and are in Coatepec. It is located right outside of the town, about 8 minutes away. They offer guided tours with an explanation about how coffee is grown, processed and commercialized. At first, they show you a movie about Coffee, It is very interesting, however, I wished they had a bigger screen and that it was louder, because the museum sits right next to the highway, so every time a big truck goes by, it gets so noisy you can’t hear anything. And because of the coffee and sugar plantations in the area, those big trucks drive by constantly. After the movie, they take you on the tour, where you go outside to see the coffee plants, then the grains, how they dry them, and toast them and the whole process. Our guide was excellent and she answered all our questions. We learnt all about coffee. At the end of the tour, she offered everyone a coffee, which was delicious, even my kids got to try coffee with their Lechero version. It was awesome because my oldest actually liked it! We really enjoyed the museum, drinking coffee and exploring around. Highly recommend it.

Very nice experience - Very pleasant experience, friendly welcome. My girlfriend and I booked the hiking tour. It includes a visit to the waterfall and a coffee plantation. Afterwards we visited the processing site as well as the museum. Delicious coffee was offered to your liking and lunch consisted of delicious tacos. The visit lasted an hour less than expected but we were satisfied. Easily accessible from Xalapa and Coatepec.

Immersive Coffee Learning - 360° experience of the Coffee process, Growth process, growth, harvest, tasting in the museum, ride in a Vintage Truck, tour of the coffee plantations, feeling nature, food in a well-appointed and equipped open-air restaurant. Things to improve: coordination or administration, since they did not know about my reservation, in the restaurant there was a long wait to order, serve and finalize the bill.

Not very good - It is not worth the price of the complete package, to the tour of the farm they ask you to take the guide in your own car, and there is not much to see, you practically see the same thing that you can see in the coffee plantations that are seen on the way to Coatepec and xico. The only thing worth it is the tasting in the same cafeteria.
