    Coffee and/or Cocoa Farm Tour 2D Description

    If you love coffee and/or chocolate, are interested in meeting a local family, and want to see the beautiful countryside of Peru, then look no further than this tour! Join us for this unique coffee or cocoa farm tour experience where you will travel from Cusco to the beautiful La Convención Valley, tour an organic coffee and/or cocoa farm to learn about local traditional farming methods and the arduous work that goes into coffee or cacao production! These families work with a local farm cooperative organization, COCLA, which has allowed them to receive organic and fair-trade certifications.

     

    Because this tour is for two days, you can choose to focus on the tour only on coffee or cocoa, OR we can arrange for you to tour both farms. If you would like this, then check the information below.

     

    These families still practice traditional farming techniques such as raising free-range guinea pigs, chickens, etc. Also, you will find different tropical plants specific to the region such as root vegetables, mango, papaya, cocoa plants, and many more!

    Note: If you want to add lunch on the second day, it is possible, so you can have more time with the family to meet their members (recommended). This additional service cost is $115.00 per each person (even guide), which you can pay directly to the family. Lunch is composed of a traditional soup, main dish, traditional beverage and fruit of the season. If you would like this service, please notify us when you book the tour.

    Considerations:

    • The family can offer either a coffee OR chocolate tour. However, if you would like both tours, please consider an additional cost of $30.00 per person, this additional tour will take about 2-3 hours and will take place on day 2.
    • Before reserving this tour, please verify if there is availability. In the case that there is no availability we can look for another homestay and this might alter the price a bit.
