Welchez Copan Coffee Tour: harvesting ripe coffee beans.

Experience the complete coffee journey from bean to cup through hands-on participation in a working coffee finca, walking scenic cloud forest trails while learning sustainable farming practices and tasting the freshest brew.

About This Experience

Immerse yourself in the authentic world of Honduran coffee culture at Finca Santa Isabel, nestled in the pristine cloud forests not far from Copán.

This hands-on agricultural experience takes you along well-maintained trails through shade-grown coffee plantations, where traditional cultivation methods preserve both exceptional flavor and environmental harmony.

During harvest season (November-March), participate directly in picking ripe coffee cherries alongside local farmers, learning to identify the perfect ripeness that creates premium beans. Witness the complete transformation process from cherry to cup: observe the wet and dry processing methods, learn about fermentation techniques, and watch as beans are carefully selected, roasted to perfection, and ground fresh.

The tour culminates in a cupping session where you’ll taste the remarkable difference of truly fresh, locally-grown coffee while overlooking the misty valley that nurtures these exceptional beans.

Expert guides share generations of coffee-growing wisdom, explaining sustainable farming practices that protect the cloud forest ecosystem while producing some of Central America’s finest coffee.

This 30-minute journey from the hotel rewards you with deep appreciation for the artistry and dedication behind every perfect cup.
