Once we arrive in Jardin, lets stretch our legs and walk around the village square, admiring the unique church and the whitewashed houses with their beautifully painted doors and balconies. Well get the chance to try delicious Colombian pastries we highly recommend the pan de crema at the local bakery and sip a cup of coffee while we sit outside on the main square and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of the village.

The cafetero will explain the different steps from growing the coffee beans through harvesting them at the right moment to processing the beans in the best possible way. At the house he will show and tell us about different methods to prepare the perfect cup of coffee and we get the chance to ask him everything else we like to know about the plantation and his rural life on the farm.
