great start of the day. Then we’ll move to the coffee farm La Victoria. During the coffee tour we'll come to know everything about coffee and the history of the

Visiting early makes all the difference—you’ll often have the cascades almost to yourself, creating a tranquil and unforgettable start to the day.

This is a hands-on, immersive experience that takes you through the entire journey of coffee—from bean to cup.
