Barista and coffee entrepreneur Laura Usuga and her family host a hands-on tour of their small farm in Santa Elena, about 20 minutes above Medellín, covering planting, harvesting, processing, roasting and tasting. The roughly five-hour experience, with more than 2,200 reviews averaging 4.97, includes transport from a meeting point, lunch and four coffee tastings.

Why we love it

  • Harvest and roast coffee yourself
  • Taste four coffee varieties
  • Farm lunch with the host family
