Review of Bogotá’s coffee farm and Tequendama Falls tour, with farm details, transport tips, guide notes, value, and practical advice.
“We highly recommend this trip. The waterfall is very nice, although we found more interesting the makeshift dining-viewing area. :) The roads in Colombia are an attraction in itself as well, sometimes you go very steep streets. The Coloma plantation was great, very green and quiet - nice change from Bogota. Juan, who was our guide there, has great knowledge about coffee and it's history. We could see whole production process and learn to appreciate the value of work put into getting coffee that we drink. The coffee and coffee liquor were a nice addition. :)”
