Stay Busy with our Upgraded Coffee Tour in Medellin
If you would’ve asked me two weeks ago, horseback riding and coffee together were last on my bucket list.
The idea of riding a horse, I felt was possible anywhere. And being in the city of Medellin wasn’t going to make a difference.
Little did I know that there existed a tour. Where one could enjoy the countryside, disconnect and learn about the world’s favorite drug. Coffee, guys.

Other tours in Medellin
We recommend this tour for any size group looking to experience what it’s like to be on a coffee farm. But we don’t recommend this tour for someone looking to just show their wives that they didn’t just party.
Many of our bachelor party groups are disrespectful and don’t listen to the guide who is trying his hardest to share his love for coffee. So if you’re not looking forward to learning about coffee, stay home. If not, contact us today for more information. It’s going to be a great tour.
