Excellent tour, you know more about the history of Salento, our guide Pedro very knowledgeable of the history, additional gave us additional recommendations (use of blocker, repellent, etc) that are indispensable! The tour of the Finca Luger with Gerardo incredible, makes you see the coffee from a different and enjoyable perspective, the delicious coffee! Super recommended!
Coffee farm and town of Salento
Excellent experience to know the coffee production and picturesque town of Salento. The guide's accompaniment was extraordinary.
CHEVERE!!!!!!!
Great! Kevin is a fantastic guide. He showed us Salento, sharing the history of the city, the region and the country. Then we went to the Luger estate and learned about the process of harvesting, drying and roasting the coffee. Of course, we start with a cup of excellent coffee! We even participate in the roasting process! Marlon, our host on the estate, is a man with immense knowledge and a gift for sharing it. And with a great sense of humor! š In between, the owner prepared us a local snack. And in the end, we were able to enjoy the coffee we had helped to roast. A fantastic experience! Essential for coffee lovers!
