Tour de Café o Cacao en las Selvas de Cusco

My tour experience was very unique and memorable. The host family were very kind and accommodating. My tour guide was a great translator and teacher. He was very knowledgeable in the coffee farm industry and helped communicate with the beautiful family. The family seemed very excited to be hosting and teaching other about their trait. Wonderful experience! The road getting to the farm was very beautiful but quit curvy and caused some motion sickness for me. I would recommend staying in the closest town recommended by the tour guide and taking medication to relieve motion sickness before going end returning.

My husband and I were visiting Cusco and really wanted to make a trip to the coffee farm as a part of our experience. We opted out for a day trip and had the most amazing time. Our guide David was very knowledgeable and passionate about coffee which was very important to us. We spent a day at José and Julia’s farm learning about the farm, coffee growing process and life of the farmers in the Cusco region. The overall experience was “seed to cup” process where we got to harvest, peel the cherries, wash them and, eventually, roast coffee. The family also prepared a delicious meal for us! A lot of farmers are able to support themselves because of tourism and we were happy to contribute and learn a lot of new things along the way. I highly recommend this experience and, especially, choosing David as your guide.
