You can also experience the lifestyle of a coffee farmer. Slip into the classic boots, strap on the machete and head out into the field. Plant coffee trees, take care of the cultivation, harvest fruit, etc. Learn first-hand what is important.

About the region and location:
The department of Quindio in Colombia is known for its spectacular landscapes, the so-called “cultural coffee landscape” of Colombia. Particularly noteworthy is the “Genova” region, which is the last region in Quindio that remains almost untouched by tourism and is a true spectacle for all visitors with its incredible mountain landscapes.
The finca “La Macarena” is located in the middle of this impressive mountain landscape, between the villages of Genova (Quindio) and Caicedonia (Valle de Cauca).
Thanks to the direct connection to the well-developed and paved main road, the finca is very easy to reach, despite its “remote location”. Within an hour you can drive from the big city of Armenia or the nearest airport directly to the finca. In fact, the finca is so easy to reach that you can even be taken directly to the door by public transport! All roads are well developed, there are no difficult access roads and normal cars can visit us. (No jeep or 4x4 drive required)
The region is still unexplored by tourists, so not much is known about it. However, there is a lot to discover:
- Authentic coffee tour with real farmers
- Chocolate/cocoa tour
- Honey bee farm
- Horse-riding in the mountains and untouched nature around Genova
- Explore rivers and waterfalls
- Idyllic little villages with coffee culture
Here are some examples of excursion destinations that are easy to reach from the finca:
- Fonda la Venada (kiosk/bar/billiards): 1 minute
- Chorro Las Brisas: Beautiful waterfall in the middle of the mountain landscape: 10 minutes
- Génova: Village with coffee culture: 20 minutes
- Caicedonia: Valle de Cauca town: 28 minutes
- Barcelona: very beautiful village with flair: 35 minutes
- Buenavista: small village with lots of coffee culture and a viewpoint: 35 minutes

A connection with nature
Located in the middle of the Andean mountains, you can connect with nature at "La Macarena". From a hammock or during a hike through the cultural coffee landscape, you can listen to nature: the rustling of the wind in the leaves of the trees, the chirping of the many species of birds and the gurgling of the water from a small stream that runs through the finca. If you get tired of the peace and quiet, there are rivers, waterfalls and more adventures waiting to be explored!
