Our tour guide was great I believe his name was Ronaldo. My family loved the hike to the waterfall and getting to learn and taste the coffee and cacao. Lunch was also good

Full description

This experience invites you to discover the secrets of artisanal coffee and cacao in the midst of nature. During the day, we will take gentle and moderate walks along rural trails, cross streams, and enjoy a swim in crystal clear waters. We will visit a local space dedicated to artisanal coffee production, where you will learn about the stages of cultivation and enjoy a delicious freshly brewed cup.
We will also participate in a cacao workshop, with tastings and sensory activities centered around local chocolate, which you can enjoy in six presentations, including a cup and chocolate mask, and you can even make your own chocolate bar. This experience includes a homemade lunch (with vegetarian and vegan options) and time to relax in a natural and peaceful setting. Note:
The route may be modified at any time by the tour guide, depending on weather or natural conditions, physical or cognitive conditions, health, or public order.

Great day at Minca with Ronaldo, it was a great time at Minca with the coffee experience first and the cacao next! Ronaldo was really knowledgeable and really cared to share how everything is done and the works done by fellow Colombians. The bus was old but quite standard for the region…
