Hi 👋 I'm Juan, Cali local, born and raised here. Tourism is: something I love to do, something I am good at, and something I can make a job out of. That's why I have found a vocation in it. My tours keep growing, expanding, innovating, always a project-under-construction. They're never finished as I keep improving them with the experience every traveller brings. I speak superb english, native spanish, fluent portuguese, and some french. Thanks for considering me to show you my hometown. Welcome to Cali!

Tour description

Did you know 93% of colombian coffee is exported?


Most of the times you get a coffee in Colombia it's not even colombian, specially if you're not in the coffee region.

So how do I get a real colombian coffee in Cali? You have to know where to find it!


Let's take your nose and taste buds on a journey through the flavor and aromas of a real colombian coffee cup from south Colombia.

Just as ourselves, every cup of coffee is different and unique. From the crop to the process, everything affects the profile (flavor and aroma) of the cup. Same grains might taste different if brewed with different methods! What does a specialty coffee from the south-west of Colombia taste like?

FAQ:

Do I have to know about coffee to go to this tour?
No. From connoisseurs to absolute beginners, everyone can come and treat their senses with a nice cup of colombian specialty coffee.


Will we only drink black coffee?

It is recommended so you get the full tasting experience. But you can get whatever you like from the menu. There's all the international recipes, brunch options, even cold brew and some proposals with local ingredients.

Shouldn't I do this in Colombia's coffee region? Why here?
Coffee experts know that every grain is different. The ones we will taste come mostly from south of the country, the Cauca region, while the coffee axis is more upnorth: Risaralda, Quindio, Caldas.

Will you be able to identify the difference of flavor in each stop?

Camilo is a fantastic guide and personalized the tour for the group. I learned a ton from the tour as well as tasted some great coffee and traditional Colombian food. I had such a great experience I took his street food tour the next day! In addition to being a great tour guide, Camilo was very friendly and personable. He gave us a ton of advice, recommendations, and tips for Cali and we ended up grabbing drinks and dancing salsa after the street food tour with him. I highly recommend the coffee tour as well as any of Camilo's other tours!

Juan was very passionate and really wanted to show us the coffee culture of colombia. All of the cafe places were lovely, Juan was open for all of our questions and tried to answer them super precise. We were part of several different coffee ceremonies, the owner of the coffee shops told us a lot about their coffee and the different style of making coffee! Would highly recommend this tour for all the coffee lovers out there
