As a culmination we will be able to visit the most northern coffee plantation in the world and the only one in Europe.
During the walk we will share our sustainable agricultural practices, biological balance and the closing of the circle of water and matter.

Tropical Paradise of Europe - Super experience for a change of spending the days on the beach! Manolo is very talkative and knowledgable guide who knows the region and plants. The more exotic more interesting for him. So he managed to grove coffe beside mango, avokado, sugar apples, sugar čane, pittaya, lemon fingers....the walk was easy and relaxing as there is a lot od shadow. And at the end we had a prvilage to taste some fruits and buy coffe which is for sale only at the finca along with some other biological products from the region (jams, rum, tropical fruits....

Definitely worth it. The paths are often difficult to navigate. Sturdy shoes and a bottle of water are recommended - A man with a passion, you will hear that during the tour. The many varieties of trees and plants. Seen so many varieties, it's a pity that they are not yet edible.

Inspiring visit - We had a very nice and interesting afternoon. Manuel enthusiastically told everything about his farm. The way he experiences his passion was especially contagious for us. He can be a great inspiration to others with his organic way of growing. This is highly recommended!

Disappointing, agreements were not kept - We had arranged the tour in German in advance and were assigned to a large group of English-speaking participants. There was no translation during the introduction, so we left. Under no circumstances should you pay for the tour in advance.
