Itinerary
We’ll meet at the central plaza of Salento, where your group and guide will gather to start the tour. Hop into a traditional Willys Jeep for a scenic ride to a coffee farm with over 100 years of history, nestled among the rolling hills of the Coffee Triangle.
Follow a coffee expert through the plantation to learn each step of the process. You'll get hands-on by planting seedlings and harvesting cherries, then observe the drying, roasting, and sometimes grinding of the beans most of which is still done by hand. Enjoy a guided tasting session where local baristas will teach you how to identify the traits of high-quality Colombian coffee while answering all your questions.
After a memorable experience in the coffee experience, we’ll return to Salento’s central square, where the tour will conclude.

The coffee farm experience with Kevin was awesome! We had a great time at the Luger farm and learned a lot about the cultivation of coffee in Colombia. He was very enthusiastic despite it only being the two of us in the tour. He was very clear in his English and was a wealth of knowledge. It truly was a pleasure to have the tour with him and we had such a great time, highly recommend!
We spent a wonderful morning at Finca Lugar in Salento, where our guide Marlon introduced us to organic coffee, taking us through the entire process — from growing and processing the beans to roasting. We ended the experience with a fantastic coffee tasting. A great experience for coffee lovers, but definitely enjoyable for everyone!
You will enjoy your coffee more after this experience. Steven was an excellent guide with humour and knowledge. The time flew by. We learned about the whole process and picked sone coffee beans, saw the drying and roasting process and of course drank coffee. I will know what to look for when buying coffee at home!!!
Could not recommend this experience more! My guide Marlon was absolutely fantastic. He was extremely friendly and shared a ton of information with me on how to grow coffee beans, roast them, and then prepare coffee. The coffee they make here is fantastic and was probably the best I had during my stay in Colombia's coffee region. There are a lot of coffee farms that do tours but this one really sets itself a part from the others due to the quality of its guides and coffee.
Neither of us entirely knew what we were letting ourselves in for with this tour, but we felt being in the coffee triangle we had to do a coffee farm tour, and it was an absolutely brilliant way to spend a morning. Steven, our guide, was just fab. He was knowledgable and engaging with so many anecdotes and insights into the whole coffee process; from growing, picking, preparing, drying, roasting and lastly enjoying a nice cup of fresh coffee! After an initial lesson into all things coffee, we got dressed for the part of coffee farmer before we headed out into the plantation to pick some of the ripe coffee cherries. We then got to see first hand what happens to the cherries once they are picked, helping to prepare the beans for drying and then roasting. The roasting process was impressive, and then the intricate brewing process made us all a very yummy cuppa It was a great tour, with the added joy of some tasty homemade snacks when we came back in from the coffee fields! I would 100% recommend this tour.
This tour was amazing!!! The kindness and knowledge that Gregorio has showed through every single part of the tour! We were welcomed and felt like family and the information was amazing!
It was a very good tour. The guide explained everything well and the transportation was adequate. I think it’s pricey for the offering and less than an hour tour on the farm, but if convenience is a priority highly recommend.
Valentina was superb, explaining the whole coffee making process in a fun, informative and interactive way. Definitely recommend.
This is a family run small farm, beautiful scenery, really learned about the whole process from bean to coffee in the cup. Our guide Nico was very knowledgable, helpful and attentive, as well as learning about the process you get to go into the ‘fields’, and pick the bean, we were given a tasty plantain snack and we drank the coffee we roasted and ground. Fully recommend this tour, we were a small group of 4, so the tour felt very personalised.
Stiven the guide for our coffee tour was amazing ! We learned so much about coffee and Colombia in general. Time was flying ! We get a coffee, then we get a little bit of history about coffee and Colombia and then we had the chance to pick up our coffee bean from the tree and after that view all the step to make a coffee from selecting the best bean to drying it, and then roast it… 200% and finally drink it ! I recommande it for friend couple or family or even solo !
The trip was wonderful. Viktor drove us very well. Marlon shared a wealth of information about coffee with us and explained every step with great enthusiasm. We were completely satisfied.
We had a great trip to the coffee farm! Friendly people and great information!! Getting to ride in the jeep was fun too! It was definitely worth the price. Tour was from 1:30-4:30
My family and I went on this tour during our Christmas/end of the year vacation in the area. We are a mixed group of Colombians, Americans, and Brits, with varying levels of Spanish and English. Our guides were punctual, informative, and upbeat. We enjoyed learning about what makes Colombian coffee distinct and spending the day outside in the beautiful setting of the farm. The jeep ride was fun and the snacks we were offered were delicious. This is a great way to spend the afternoon in Salento, with time for shopping and food before and after.
This tour was absolutely fantastic, I would book it again in a heartbeat. Juan is a truly wonderful tour guide; he knows so much about the nature of Cocora Valley. He also shows you the different birds and flowers. Plus, he can give you great tips for your trip around Colombia. The Luger coffee tour was also very interesting; the staff there explained the entire coffee production process very well and showed us the coffee farm and how the coffee is made. Thank you so much for the unforgettable day!
The tour was meticulously organised and provided us with a very unique insight into the coffee manufacturing process from bean to cup. We loved visiting Luger Coffee Farm and our guide Marlon shared his expertise with with and passion. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Salento.
Nice family business with a guide who speaks good English.
We loved it! We enjoyed it a lot and our guide Steven was magnificent! Highly recommended!
We very much enjoyed our tour, friendly small family business. We were able to discover and understand all the subtleties of Colombian coffee! Great guide!
Superb visit that allows you to experience the coffee making process from start to finish. The guide was very interesting, professional and friendly. Punctual and pleasant return transportation. We had a great time! I recommend!
Very informative, the guide was very friendly and shows many things to coffee production. Also the coffee was a rating.
