Jardin Private Day Trip: Colombian Coffee Tour from Medellin

We really loved this day tour. Our tour guide, David, was awesome. He picked us up at the hotel early in the morning and we picked up some fresh coffee and pandebono and pan de yuca and started making the drive to Jardin. We had great conversation and the perfect musical soundtrack for the drive. We enjoyed the green scenic views of the mountains outside Medellin. Jardin is a cute town with colorful painted homes and clean streets to stroll down, we are glad we went. It's the perfect place to relax, have some fresh juice, and enjoy the ambiance. The cable car was a fun experience and the church in the central plaza is beautiful. After visiting Jardin we headed to the coffee finca (La Florida), which was also an impressive apiary, keeping many different species of bees (abejas). David made the experience so memorable, changing the vibes with classical music as we ascended a flower-lined dirt road up a dirt road to majestic views of mountain valleys lined with coffee and banana trees. The coffee experience started with some education and tasting, then we were off to pick beans. After picking beans, we learned how to process them for roasting and grinding. We loved the whole experience and left with a lot of honey and coffee to bring home. The lunch provided was really filling and delicious. I highly recommend this tour, it was one of the most fun days we had in our 2 week trip. Hanging out with David all day was like being with an old friend, hope we can meet again someday!

What a memorable fantastic day! We can’t recommend this private day trip to Jardín enough. Daniel was thoroughly entertaining, a passionate story teller, he kept us thoroughly entertained and engaged for almost 10-hours. We travelled way up into the Andes to a charming coffee plantation where we learned all about coffee but also bees! We picked coffee beans, learned the process followed by a delicious home made lunch with a spectacular view. Then we visited the lovely town of Jardin. Definitely our favourite day trip from Medellín. Gracias Daniel!

We had a fantastic day- the coffee experience is enjoyable and unforgettable (also, if you get the chance to eat there then their food is amazing). Jardín is just as pretty as we had been led to believe. For us, the highlight of the day was our tour guide, Daniel, who was likeable, interesting, knowledgeable and fun. The time when we were travelling between locations passed quickly due to how exceptional he was at his job.
