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.
