Visit the coffee crossroads, El Eje Cafetero, recognized as the source for some of the worlds best coffee. A journey back to a more tranquil and traditional Colombia, where most people lived on farms and coffee was king.

The central experience in the coffee country tour will be savoring that tranquility while staying at the haciendas, old and creaky farmhouses, virtually all of them painted in bright colors, their porches overflowing with orchids and ferns. While enjoying tours through the rivers Barragan and La Vieja, with rapids class 2 and labyrinths of islands. As well enjoy a novelty of pulleys and canopies over platforms, on top of fruit crops, the cartoonish guaduales, giant bursts of bamboo topped by delicate foliage and lakes that tempt the most daring ones.

There will be horseback ridings at sunset through working farms that offer tours of the coffee fields and the surprisingly old-fashioned steps taken to turn a bright red bean into a valuable commodity through the so-called Haciendas del Café.

The Eje Cafetero (the coffee crossroads), is made up of three diminutive states — Quindío, Risaralda and Caldas — about 100 miles west of Bogotá. This tour will be in the smallest and most charming, Quindío, a state where there are 12 tones of green, wherever you look and where Willy Jeeps carry loads of bananas and heavy sacks of coffee to market on meandering country roads.

Expeditions trough the rivers Barragan and La Vieja, with rapids class 2 and labyrinths of islands. There are a novelty of pulleys and canopies over platforms on average at 10 meters high, on top of fruit crops and artificial lakes that tempt the most daring ones. There will be horseback ridings at sunset that go from sugar and coffee plantations through the stream of a river and all the way through the slope of the mountain.
