Itinerary
Here you will visit a traditional coffee farm for about 1.5 hours where you will collect coffee beans from the field, you will grind them and peel them using manual, old fashion tools. Finally, the local host will prepare a traditional "tinto" or black coffee for you to sample.
A traditional campesino (farmer) lunch is served here surrounded by the sounds of nature. All plates are vegetarian. The home belongs to one of the community members and it is not a full time restaurant. The place is clean and simple, devoid of any luxury.
Here you will visit a traditional cacao farm for about 1.5 hour where you will see the cacao beans hanging from the trees. Your host will open the bean for you to taste the fruit's content. You will then visit the fermentation room, the drying room and see the final product of the cacao process. If time allows, you can also experience the grinding of the cacao from hard shell to liquid form which is the raw material for all chocolate produced in the world.

About Bogotá
Bogotá, Colombia's capital, sits high in the Andes at around 2,600 metres, with a colonial old quarter, a famed gold museum and a hilltop church.
La Candelaria, the old quarter, lies at the foot of the eastern hills, with streets of colonial houses, galleries and murals around Plaza de Bolívar and its cathedral. The Gold Museum holds thousands of pre-Hispanic gold objects, and the Botero Museum shows the plump figures of Fernando Botero, who gave the city his collection. Above town, a funicular and cable car rise to Monserrate, a white church at over 3,100 metres.
Top-ranked sights in Bogotá: Plaza de Bolivar, Botero Museum (Museo Botero), Gold Museum (Museo del Oro).
