This combined tour is for those travelers that have a short time to explore Medellín but wishes to see the most they can in their precious time.

We encapsulated the essence of Medellín and Colombia's culture, integrating two iconic tours: the renowned COMUNA 13 and an immersive visit to a captivating and beautiful COFFEE FARM, where we'll immerse into the fascinating and magical world of coffee, learning every step behind the smoothest and most delicious coffee on earth.

We'll discover two completely different worlds, that truly identify Colombia as a whole, in one side we have the beautiful, lush and diverse natural beauty of the countryside, where hard working but friendly farmers work the land, and on the other side, the historical violence that has flooded that beautiful nature with our blood, but both, are important steps for the brighter future of Colombia!!

So, let's make the most out of your time and let us make you fall in love with this extraordinary country!

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Comuna13
1) Following a convenient pick-up from your Hotel/AirBnB in a comfortable and private transportation, we'll head to the captivating, multicultural, and vibrant Comuna 13—a true testament to transformation and resilience. Once plagued by the control of drug dealers, guerrillas, and paramilitary groups, today it stands as the shining jewel of Medellín. We'll have a walk through the graffiti route to witness the remarkable fusion of art and history. The graffiti and murals scattered throughout the neighborhood vividly depict its tumultuous past, remarkable present, and its inspiring future. Ascending to the highest point of the mountain is a breeze, thanks to the electric escalators—so no worries for those who prefer an easier climb. Once at the top, we will be rewarded with an extraordinary and strategic view of the city, allowing us to understand why various armed groups sought control over Comuna 13.

3)After visiting Comuna 13, we'll head to the south of Medellín towards the beautiful countryside, just 20 minutes away from the city, we'll get to see a different perspective, absorbing the vibrant and vivid life around Medellín. 2) Soon we'll arrive to a gorgeous little coffee family farm, immersed in natural beauty, full of a diverse of crops, where we'll live an authentic coffee experience that will take you through the entire process of coffee-making, from the coffee plant to the cup. Surrounded by the beautiful landscapes of Antioquia, you'll gain a deeper understanding of the art and science of coffee-making. From picking the cherries to roasting the beans, you'll learn about the complexity, hard work and dedication that goes into producing a simple cup of coffee.

WASHING: After depulping, the coffee beans still have some sticky residue on them, called mucilage. To get rid of this, the beans are washed thoroughly with water. This helps to clean and prepare them for the next steps. It's like giving the beans a refreshing shower to ensure they're squeaky clean. FERMENTING: After the coffee cherries have been depulped, they go through a process called fermentation. This step is essential for enhancing the flavors of the coffee beans. The depulped beans, still coated with some of the fruit's pulp, are placed in fermentation tanks or barrels. Enzymes naturally present in the fruit's pulp work their magic, breaking down any remaining mucilage and adding complexity to the coffee's flavor profile. It's like marinating the beans in a special sauce, allowing them to develop their unique taste characteristics.
4. Sabaneta
DRYING: Now it's time for the coffee beans to dry out. They are spread out in thin layers on large patios or raised beds to soak up the warm sun. As they dry, the beans gradually lose their moisture content and develop their unique flavors. THRESING: Once the beans are dry, they are ready for the threshing process. This involves removing the outer parchment layer that protects the beans. Machines or traditional methods are used to separate the beans from the parchment. ROASTING: Ah, the final and most exciting step! The green coffee beans are carefully roasted to perfection. This is where the magic happens, as the beans undergo a transformation and release their incredible aromas and flavors. Roasting is an art that requires precise temperature control and expertise. The beans turn from green to brown, and their flavors develop depending on the roast level. It's like toasting a marshmallow over a campfire, witnessing its color change and savoring the delicious result.
5. Sabaneta
And there you have it! From the moment the coffee cherries are picked to the point where they are transformed into the fragrant beans we know and love, the journey is filled with care, craftsmanship, and passion. So, next time you sip a cup of Colombian coffee, remember the intricate process behind it and savor every sip of this remarkable beverage.
