This was a last minute decision for us because we had a spare day (our last day) and didn't want to leave Costa Rica without touring a coffee plantation. And we were so glad we picked this tour!! We were expecting that the coffee plantation would just be a stop on the way to the main attraction, the waterfall, but it was exactly the opposite. Tio Leo is a real character, and packs the ~two hours you spend with him with stories, jokes, history, cooking, sugarcane juicing and some good old folksy wisdom. Along with coffee we also learned a lot about all the plants and trees in his orchard, sugar plantations, cocoa plantations, and even made empanadas! His peaberry coffee is the best I've ever tasted, and we are still enjoying it every morning. This is absolutely a must-do!! And oh, the waterfall is great too . :)
