    Finca La Victoria, named after the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, it is a coffee farm founded by a group of English engineers in 1892. Located around 2600 ft above sea level, it is one of the oldest coffee farms in Colombia. Moreover, it is interesting how they managed to keep using the same machines and procedures all over the years without compromising the quality and quantity of their organic and first-class coffee beans. Get to know the whole coffee production process from the picking stage to the packaging and distribution. This fascinating organic coffee farm moves tons of coffee beans around 148 acres using gravity, pipelines and machines they imported 100 years ago, and on top of that, no animals are used in any single step of the process. We will be visiting this farm if you selected the correct option. It is only included in tour option named "4x4 Off-Road Adventure Opt 1".

    1 hour 30 minutes Admission ticket included
