About this tour


The tour begins with a hotel pickup in Pereira and a transfer to a family-run coffee farm nestled in the mountains of Risaralda. There, a fourth-generation family, led by women, opens their home and shares a tradition passed down from parents to children for decades, keeping the region's coffee legacy alive.

The welcome takes place amidst working coffee plantations, accompanied by a cup of coffee prepared in the traditional style. While enjoying the aromas and flavors of the farm, you will learn about the host family's history, their connection to the land, and the role coffee has played in shaping their identity over generations.

Before starting the tour, you will receive the typical coffee farmer's attire — poncho, hat and basket —, elements that are part of the rural culture of the Coffee Region and that will accompany the experience during the visit.

As you walk through the coffee plantations, the guide explains how a coffee plant grows, its stages of development, and the factors that influence the quality of the bean. However, the most special moment of the tour comes when each visitor participates in planting their own coffee tree on the farm.

More than just an agricultural activity, this act represents a direct connection to the land and to a tradition that has shaped the region's history. Planting a coffee tree allows one to understand the time, care, and dedication required for each cup of coffee, while leaving a symbolic mark on a landscape that continues to produce and grow generation after generation.

The experience continues with hands-on activities that offer a close look at the daily work on a coffee farm, including hand-picking coffee beans and observing some of the tools and processes the family uses to transform the beans. Through stories and demonstrations, visitors discover how planting techniques have evolved without losing the essence of coffee tradition.

The tour concludes with a cup of coffee prepared using filter methods, accompanied by homemade cake and a special surprise reserved for the end of the experience. It's a moment to share with the hosts, ask questions, and enjoy the result of a process that begins long before the coffee reaches the cup.

This coffee planting experience in Pereira is ideal for those seeking an authentic connection with Colombian coffee culture, actively participating in a family tradition and experiencing one of the most representative gestures in the world of coffee: planting a plant that will continue to grow long after the visit.

Frequently asked questions

The experience includes a guided tour of a traditional coffee farm in the Coffee Region, planting your own coffee tree with the assistance of coffee growers, a complete explanation of the process (seed, nursery, cultivation, harvesting, processing, and roasting), and a tasting of single-origin coffee. It includes planting materials and tools, farm entrance fee, an expert local guide (Spanish; English upon request), and basic local insurance. This is a small-group tour focused on responsible and sustainable tourism. Tips, personal expenses, and additional meals are not included, unless specified by the operator. At the end, you can take photos and, at many farms, receive a certificate of your planting. Details are confirmed on the voucher.

The tour typically lasts between 3 and 4 hours, not including transfers. It operates year-round in Pereira, with departures in the morning (approximately 8:00–9:00 AM) and, depending on availability, in the afternoon (1:00–2:00 PM). The exact time and assigned farm will be confirmed upon completion of the online booking and receipt of the electronic voucher. We recommend the morning departure to enjoy cooler weather and better light for photographs at the coffee farm. During peak season (December–January, Easter week, and holidays), spaces fill up quickly: book in advance. For private groups, it is possible to adjust the itinerary and pace by coordinating with the local operator.

Most tours offer pickup from centrally located hotels in Pereira or a designated meeting point in the city. Transportation is provided in a fully insured tourist vehicle with a licensed driver. After confirming your booking, you will receive the exact address, map, and arrival time (please arrive 10–15 minutes early) on your voucher. If you prefer to arrive independently, the tour operator will provide GPS coordinates and access to the coffee farm's parking lot. Transfers from other cities in the Coffee Region (Armenia, Salento, Manizales) may incur an additional cost and have limited availability. Please keep your phone active for coordination via WhatsApp on the day of the tour.

To enjoy the excursion, wear comfortable, breathable clothing, closed-toe, non-slip shoes (avoid sandals), a hat or cap, sunscreen, insect repellent, and a light raincoat, as intermittent rain is common in the Coffee Region. Also bring a reusable water bottle, a fully charged camera or smartphone, and some cash to purchase local coffee or handicrafts. If you have allergies or take medication, bring it with you. During the tour, you will walk along natural trails and dirt paths; appropriate clothing will improve your safety and comfort. On rainy days, mud is common: wear shoes that you can easily clean and bring spare socks.

This excursion is of low to moderate difficulty and suitable for families traveling with children. It involves short walks along uneven trails and gentle slopes on the coffee farm. We recommend a minimum age of 5 years old and that children be accompanied by an adult. Seniors with good mobility can participate; it is essential to wear appropriate footwear and walk at a leisurely pace. Pregnant women or people with reduced mobility should inquire beforehand: some farms do not have accessible entrances or restrooms. If you require adjustments to the pace, additional stops, or assistance, please inform the operator when booking so we can prepare the experience safely.

Plantando café en el Eje Cafetero

Qué planazo en Pereira. Con Tangol me llevaron a una finca cafetera hermosa, con paisajes que te dejan sin aliento. Aprendí, de forma súper clara y entretenida, cómo nace el café y terminé plantando mi propio arbolito, que ahora queda allí creciendo. La experiencia es práctica, auténtica y muy respetuosa con la gente local. Entre caminata, aromas y conversa con el guía, se me pasó volando; cerramos con una taza espectacular. Ideal para curiosos, parejas o familias. Organización impecable. Repetiría sin dudar. Súper recomendado, vale cada minuto.

Planting My Coffee Tree in Pereira: Pure Joy Experience

Honestly, this was the highlight of my time in Pereira. Tangol made everything easy - pickup on time, friendly guide, and info the whole way. At the farm we got our hands dirty planting our own coffee tree, learned the process from seed to cup, and did a tasting with mountain views. The farmers were warm, and patient with all our questions. Expect some mud (they gave us boots), lots of sun, and aromas. Bring sunscreen, a hat, and water. If you love coffee or just authentic experiences, this is a must. I'd do it again.

Plantando café em Pereira: do grão à xícara, experiência incrível

Que passeio massa com a Tangol! Na fazenda de café em Pereira, aprendi cada etapa, do plantio da mudinha ao cheirinho mágico da torra. A equipe local é super gente boa e paciente, respondendo tudo enquanto a gente mete a mão na terra e planta nosso próprio pé de café. Paisagens lindas do Eixo Cafeteiro, fotos incríveis e muito conhecimento sem ser chato. Organização redonda e horário certinho. Dica de amigo: vá de tênis confortável, leve protetor solar e água. Eu saí apaixonado por café! Voltaria fácil e recomendo sem medo.

Kaffeebäume pflanzen in Pereira: Authentische Farm, grandiose Aussicht und köstliche Tassen mit Tangol Tours

Wenn du in Pereira bist, mach diese Kaffeefarm-Tour – ich war begeistert! Mit Tangol lief alles easy: pünktliche Abholung, herzlicher Guide, kleine Gruppe. Wir lernten den Prozess vom Samen bis zur Tasse, liefen durch die Plantage und ich pflanzte meinen eigenen Kaffeebaum (Name inklusive). Der Farmer erklärte geduldig, danach gab's frische Verkostung mit Aromencheck – wow. Die Aussicht über die Anden ist schlicht traumhaft. Authentisch, nachhaltig, null Touristenfalle. Für Kaffee-Nerds und Neugierige gleichermaßen ein Must. Würde es wieder buchen. Bringt bequeme Schuhe und Kamera unbedingt mit!

Planter un caféier à Pereira: immersion sensible, café sublime et moments vrais partagés ensemble

J’ai réservé ce tour avec Tangol et franchement, incroyable. À Pereira, on met littéralement les mains dans la terre: on plante son propre caféier, on apprend tout le process, de la graine à la tasse, avec des producteurs passionnés. Les paysages de l’Eje Cafetero sont de carte postale, ça sent la terre humide et le café fraîchement torréfié. Organisation au top, timing relax, transport nickel, et dégustation généreuse. Super pour comprendre, sentir et participer. J’en garde un souvenir hyper chaleureux et authentique et durable.
