Coffee or Cacao 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 on coffee or cocoa only, 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!

Coffee or Cacao Farm Tour 2D Itinerary

Day 1: Cusco – Huayopata (the farm)

• 07:45 Pick-up from your hotel, transfer to the bus station (if the private car option has not been selected)
• 08:00 Head in the direction of the Huayopata zone. We will pass through the Sacred Valley of the Incas, where you will be able to stop and take in the stellar scenery. The highest point will be Abra Malaga, with an altitude of 4,316 meters (here you will also be able to take some unforgettable pictures). We will also pass through the interesting landscape of the cloud forest
• 12:00 Arrive at the farm, where a member of the family will welcome us with open arms and where you will be able to take a brief break.
• 13:00 Lunch with the family! If you are a vegetarian or vegan, please let us know so that we can coordinate with the family ahead of time.
• 14:30 A member of the family will take you around the farm, where they will explain their daily chores, the process that coffee or cacao production undergoes, and you will also have the opportunity to try fruit that is in season! After the visit to the farm, you will participate in some traditional coffee or chocolate roasting. You will have the opportunity to prepare your cup of coffee or hot chocolate from start to finish.18:00Dinner with the family, time to share with them.

Day 2: Return to Cusco or Ollantaytambo

• 07:30 Time for breakfast with the family. If you prefer an earlier or later start, just let them know the night before — they are always happy to adjust.
• 09:00 After saying your goodbyes, you will head back toward the Sacred Valley and Cusco. The drive takes you through some beautiful mountain scenery, a nice way to close out the experience.
• 12:00 Arrival in Ollantaytambo. If you are planning to continue to Machu Picchu, this is a convenient stopping point — the train to Aguas Calientes departs from here, so it is worth checking the schedule before your trip.

Sacred Valley – Coffee or Cocoa Plantation Tour Description

Discover the Sacred Valley and find out on a coffee or cacao plantation tour how this region supports the growing global demand for coffee and cacao. Enjoy the valley of the Incas, and admire the magnificent Inca constructions at Pisac and Ollantaytambo. Then visit a local farm and family who will teach you about traditional agriculture and the region’s signature crops. You’ll get to know the family firsthand and learn about their deep, generations-old knowledge of coffee or cacao — and the full process each goes through, from harvest to cup or bar. You’ll also get to try other local produce and seasonal fruit grown on the farm.

If your ultimate destination is Machu Picchu, we can help you extend this tour in that direction — with drop-off included as far as Santa María, from where you can continue independently toward Hidroeléctrica and Aguas Calientes (Machu Picchu town).

Day1: Cusco – Sacred Valley – Coffee or Cocoa Plantation tour

• Pick-up time: 7:00 AM for the Regular Sacred Valley route, or 6:30 AM for the Super Valle route.
• For group tours, you can choose your Sacred Valley route:
  • Regular Sacred Valley (7:00 AM pick-up): visit the market town and archaeological site of Pisac, then Ollantaytambo — a classic introduction to the valley’s history and Inca engineering.
  • Super Valle (6:30 AM pick-up): a more complete route through Chinchero (Andean weaving community), Moray (the Inca’s circular agricultural terraces), Salineras de Maras (the ancestral salt pans), and Ollantaytambo.
• Afternoon — After an optional buffet lunch in Urubamba (see restaurant options and prices below), we’ll continue on to explore Ollantaytambo’s impressive Incan ruins and walk through the town itself — one of the few in Peru that still preserves its original Inca urban layout.
• From there, we’ll travel roughly three hours by private or public vehicle to the farm, where a local family will welcome you. On arrival, enjoy a short walk through the property, share dinner with the family, and settle into your private room (hot water included).

Day 02: Huayopata – Ollantaytambo or Cusco

• Morning — After breakfast with the family, it’s time to choose your farm experience: coffee or cacao — both grown side by side on this same organic, fair-trade certified farm.
  • Choose coffee, and you’ll learn how the region’s signature crop goes from cherry to cup: harvesting, processing, and preparing your own coffee using traditional, artisanal methods.
  • Choose cacao, and you’ll follow the pod from tree to bar: harvesting cacao pods, fermenting and drying the beans, and trying your hand at making chocolate the traditional way.
• Either way, you’ll also get to taste seasonal local fruit and see other tropical crops grown on the farm, like coca and tea.
• Afternoon — After lunch, we’ll say goodbye to the family and begin the return journey to Ollantaytambo or Cusco — just let us know your final destination in advance. The trip takes about 3 hours to Ollantaytambo, or 4 hours to Cusco.

Note: This tour is budgeted as a round-trip, 2-day program returning to Ollantaytambo or Cusco. If you plan to continue on to Machu Picchu, we can drop you off in Santa María, from where you can continue independently toward Hidroeléctrica and on to Aguas Calientes. Transport all the way to Hidroeléctrica is available at an additional cost — let us know in advance if you’d like this option, and we’ll quote it for you.
