Mi Cafecito Coffee Tour – The soul of Costa Rican coffee in a cup
The Mi Cafecito Coffee Tour is a community and authentic experience that connects visitors with the heart of Costa Rica's coffee culture. Unlike large industrial tours, this tour offers an intimate and close encounter with local producers who, generation after generation, have grown coffee with love, respect for the land and a commitment to quality. From Poás Volcano Lodge, this unique experience is just a few minutes away. The tour takes visitors to family coffee farms located around Poás Volcano, where volcanic soil, altitude and climate create the perfect conditions to produce one of the most appreciated coffees in the world. Here, coffee is not just a product: it is identity, tradition and the livelihood of families who have dedicated their lives to this crop. The local guide, who in many cases is part of the producing family, explains each stage of the process with a pride and closeness that cannot be found on conventional tourist circuits. The experience is as personal as it is authentic, and every fact shared carries the stamp of someone who has lived coffee from the inside.

The process: from seed to cup
The tour covers the entire coffee cycle, from the moment the seed germinates until the bean reaches the visitor's cup. You walk through the coffee fields observing plants at different stages of growth, learn to tell a ripe bean from one that is not yet ready, and understand why manual harvesting makes a fundamental difference in the quality of the final product. Throughout the tour you visit the processing areas, where the beans are processed using methods that combine traditional techniques with sustainable practices. The aroma of coffee at each stage of the process is, in itself, an extraordinary sensory experience.

VIEW AVAILABILITYA walk through the forest and the river
The Mi Cafecito Coffee Tour also includes a walk along ecological trails that cross forests and follow the course of nearby rivers, integrating the coffee experience with the nature that surrounds the farms. This green and fresh environment enriches the tour and allows visitors to understand the deep relationship between the ecosystem and the production of high-altitude coffee.
The guide will point out the plants, birds and natural elements that are part of the coffee-growing landscape, turning the walk into a living lesson on the biodiversity and sustainable agriculture of the region.
The tasting, the highlight moment
The highlight of the tour is the tasting. Visitors have the opportunity to prepare and taste freshly processed coffee from the farm, following the steps of traditional Costa Rican preparation. The contrast between the simplicity of the process and the depth of the flavor is revealing: few experiences connect consumers so directly with the origin of what they are drinking.
Accompanied by typical local snacks, the tasting becomes a moment of togetherness, cultural exchange and genuine enjoyment. Visitors often take home beans or ground coffee from the farm itself as a tangible souvenir of the experience.
