One of our best days in Colombia going to El Retiro, El Penol, Guatape and a family-run coffee farm. We are a family of 2 adults and 2 teens. We don't usually do packaged tours with a guide, but I am so glad we did this one and would highly recommend it. Well worth the money. Fernando was an excellent guide with a great playlist for our drive. He was so knowledgeable about the history and culture of the places we visited. You can tell that he truly loves sharing information about his country with visitors. We had a lot of questions and he was happy to talk about everything and never rushed us. It was really a lot of fun. We especially enjoyed the Finca La Rivera coffee farm. The owners were super gracious and showed us every aspect of the process ending with delicious coffee. And the town of Guatape is so colorful and fun to see.
