From the GetYourGuide and Viator listings and their itineraries, checked on 25 October 2026. The ride time is the operator’s own figure; traffic out of Bogotá can add to it.
Grouped by how you get there rather than by operator. These tours come from all regions, not only from the table above.
Pickup in El Poblado, Laureles or at the Metropolitano stadium, then about 45 minutes to D’Arrieros in San Sebastián de Palmitas. Lunch is included, the horse ride is an option.
The whole tour takes place at Finca El Ocaso, 4 km from Salento, with an English-speaking guide. Willys jeeps leave from the main square and are paid separately.
A two-hour tasting at Café Matuca in the centre of Bogotá, with four coffees and a cup you brew yourself. There is no farm and no transfer: you meet at the café.
A shared group that leaves from the main square in Salento by Willys jeep to a farm with more than a century of history. Breakfast and lunch are not included.

Tour titles in Colombia often sound alike. These are the four points that make the difference on the day, taken from the tour pages and, where the page is silent, marked as such.
Where you stay decides more than which operator you pick. North of Salento, Pereira and the Antioquian town of Jardín each have a farm of their own on our Pereira and Jardín page.
The most tours on this site, from full farm days with lunch to urban tours reached by Metrocable.
Part of the UNESCO coffee cultural landscape. The farms sit just outside town.
Farm visits are full-day trips into Cundinamarca, so plan the whole day.
Coffee as part of a hiking day in the hills above Santa Marta, with a waterfall and a cocoa workshop.
The coffee tours listed for Cartagena are tastings in the city, without a farm visit. Useful on a beach stay or a cruise stop.
Medellín has a wide choice of coffee tours, and they differ a lot. The farm days in Palmitas run four to six hours with pickup and lunch, the tour in La Sierra starts at a metro station and goes up by tram and cable car, and the Don Leandro visit near Parque Arví adds a massage. Our Medellín page puts all of them in one table, including the tours that are only bookable on Viator.
Around Salento the coffee farms are close to town, and the cheapest tours take place entirely on the farm. The English tour at Finca El Ocaso lasts about an hour and a half and includes no transport and no food. The same goes for the organic farm of Don Elías, where the guides speak English, Spanish and French.
To get there, most visitors take one of the Willys jeeps that leave from the main square and pay the driver separately. If you would rather be collected at your hotel, there are versions of the El Ocaso visit with pickup, and private tours from Salento, Armenia or Filandia. They cost more for the same farm, so compare what the extra covers.
In the Andes and the coffee region the drier months are roughly December to early March and again in July and August. In Risaralda the main harvest runs from September to December, with the smaller mitaca harvest in April and May. So the busiest picking months fall in the rainy season, while December to February is dry and the main tourist season. Bring closed shoes either way: farm paths are steep and can be slippery.
Seasons according to kimkim (best time to visit Colombia) and Barista Hustle (harvest calendar Risaralda).
Month by month, and the tours where you pick coffee yourself
Guides and the hands-on part get the most praise across the regions. The critical voice here is about the long drive on a day trip from Bogotá, which is the trade-off of a farm visit from the capital.
“We had such a nice experience. You get a very clear introduction about the history of coffee and the process how it’s made. Not to much information and interactive. And ofcourse we ended with a brilliant cup of coffee”
“Samuel was very funny and very enthusiastic. such a cool guy with a lot of love and passion for what he does. we had a smaller English group so we had a lot of time extra questions. we learned so much and had soo much fun. highly recommended.”
“Everything was great. One of the best tour guides you could ask for. Covered in English and Spanish”
“travel time is way to long for the experience but the rest ist nice”
Reviews by travellers after their farm visit, from GetYourGuide.
Colombia Coffee Tours is a comparison site, not a tour operator. It is not connected to the Medellín company called Colombia Coffee Tour, whose seed-to-cup tour appears on our Medellín page next to its competitors. When you book through a link here, GetYourGuide or Viator pays us a commission from its margin; your price stays the same.
For most visitors, Medellín: the D’Arrieros farm day there, with hotel pickup, a named farm in San Sebastián de Palmitas and a Paisa lunch, is our pick for the best coffee tour in Colombia. If you are staying in Salento, the farms of the Eje Cafetero, the classic coffee landscape, are a short jeep ride from town. From Bogotá a farm visit takes a full day because of the drive. Minca combines coffee with a hike above Santa Marta, and the tours listed in Cartagena are tastings in the city.
Many tours from Medellín and Bogotá do. The farm tours around Salento usually do not: the farms are a few kilometres outside town and most visitors go by Willys jeep from the main square. The tables on this site show for every tour whether there is a pickup, a meeting point or no transfer at all, and one page collects the tours with pickup.
On-site tours at a Salento farm last about an hour and a half. Half-day trips from Medellín run around four hours, the bigger farm days around six. Day trips from Bogotá take from seven to ten hours, and a good part of that is spent on the road.
Most tours visit a named farm, and we list the name wherever the tour page or the reviews give it. Some listings do not name the farm at all, and on one urban tour a reviewer notes that the plants shown are not on the family’s main farm. Where that is the case, the table says so.
In Risaralda the main harvest runs from September to December, with a smaller second harvest, the mitaca, in April and May. In practice coffee is picked there almost all year. The main harvest falls in the rainy season, while December to February is dry and busy.
Every GetYourGuide tour on this site can be cancelled free of charge up to a day before the start. The Viator tours listed here can also be cancelled free of charge up to 24 hours before the start.
