Tour was well worth the low price, and includes a cup of coffee. I know you'll pass a lot of other farms along the way, but if you want the best, personal tour, go to...

A great tour in a small-scale family owned organic farm. This is our second coffee tour in Colombia and we wanted to see a smaller scale farm Arzacia was perfect for that!

The tour guid who spoke great English showed us around the farm from bean to roasting and explained how it works. We got to pick coffee (though not efficiently or well) and use some of the machinery around the farm.

We finished by tasting the coffee which was sweet and delicious! There are some pre-roasted packs available for quite reasonable price and I hope that it lasts until we...
