Itinerary
Your experience begins early in the morning as our guide picks you up from your hotel in Cusco. Leaving the city behind, we travel through scenic Andean valleys before descending into the lush cloud forest, where Peru’s famous high-altitude coffee is cultivated.
Upon arrival at a local coffee farm, you’ll receive a warm welcome from the farming family, who will introduce you to their traditions and explain how coffee cultivation has become an essential part of their way of life.
Walk through the coffee plantations while learning how different varieties are grown using environmentally friendly methods. Depending on the season, you’ll even have the opportunity to harvest ripe coffee cherries alongside local farmers.
Next, discover every stage of coffee production—from selecting the finest beans and natural drying techniques to roasting and grinding the coffee by hand using traditional methods. Finish the experience by preparing your own fresh cup during a guided specialty coffee tasting while learning to identify its aromas, flavors, and unique characteristics.
After the coffee workshop, enjoy a traditional lunch prepared with fresh regional ingredients while sharing stories with your hosts about Andean customs, agriculture, and everyday life.
In the afternoon, take time to explore the surrounding landscapes, relax among the coffee fields, capture memorable photographs, and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere before returning comfortably to Cusco, where your unforgettable cultural experience comes to an end.
