Amazing - I had an amazing experience. I did the tour with my girlfriend and learn a lot about coffee: the whole production chain from gathering to exportation (also about cafeteros society). The spot is amazing, around mountains with a lot of green (it is a bowl of air close to Medellin). The village close to it is nice and worth visiting it and recommend to take the whole day for that experience if you plan to go back to Medellin. I could taste some coffee, feed a horse, gather coffee (optional: because that is a hard job). During that day I also could speak with farmers that lived there most of their lives and learned about their experience. Sandra and Julian are highly educated people who got passionate about coffee and share their passion. Absolutely to recommend.
