Recuca

Spent the whole day here with the family and had lots of fun. They advertise it as a coffee farm visit, but it’s way more than that. I’d even say that coffee takes a small place here. They will put you in traditional costumes and teach you how to dance the old-school way. They will show you a big handmade model village that’s fun to explore. They will also take multiple pictures of you (and charge you for them later if you want to keep them). At the very end, they finally tell you a little about coffee and let you taste a small cup. So don’t come here for the coffee, but more for the photos and the fun experience.

Manuel, our Jeep chauffeur recommended this place. This place is beautiful. Our coffee tour guide, Juan David Giraldo, was the best. He is fun and enthusiastic, and his energy is contagious. We all loved Recuca and in grand part because of his fun energy. Ok. Now the bad: we were horribly disappointed to learn the coffee shop didn't take cards. My heart sank when the employee said it was CASH ONLY 🤯. I mean, this is a tourist spot!!!. We paid for the tickets with a visa card. And we really wanted to buy MANY bags coffee there to bring home..... it was kind of horrible to go home empty-handed. So this is my humble recommendation for the administrator: ALLOW people buy and pay with ALL the options available. Not only cash!!!! You are losing a LOT of clients. 😪

I loved this coffee experience! They taught us everything from how coffee originated to how to distinguish the differences between coffee beans, to how to make the perfect cup and all the varieties of coffee. We even dressed up in costumes that represented the people who previously had coffee farms. Towards the end we had to pick out coffee beans. It was an enriching experience especially for someone who loves coffee

I had a really fun afternoon here. The whole experience was made even better by the tour guides. Our guide was Juan David, and he was faultless! He made the whole experience come to life and was funny, knowledgeable, and engaging with all the tour group. I personally enjoyed picking the coffee beans and learning about the process from bean to cup. Our tour was in Spanish, but they do offer English tours and one to one. At the end of the tour, we all got to dress up and get involved in a dance, which was fun! There was also an option to eat in their restaurant, but we did not have time due to other plans later in the day. I would recommend it for sure.

Visiting Recuca was truly one of the highlights of my time in Colombia. The scenery is absolutely stunning—lush green hills, beautiful views everywhere you look, and the perfect atmosphere to experience the heart of the Coffee Region. The food was delicious as well, a great addition to an already amazing visit. A special shoutout to our tour guide, Alejandro, who was absolutely amazing. His energy, humor, and deep knowledge made the tour unforgettable. He explained every step of the coffee process in a way that was both engaging and entertaining, and he made sure everyone felt included and cared for. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does—and it shows. If you’re visiting the Coffee Axis, don’t miss Recuca. And if you’re lucky enough to get Alejandro as your guide, you’re in for a fantastic experience! Highly recommend.

Solid tour. Thanks to Alejandro for his energy and engagement. We learnt about coffee, the Paisas and had heaps of fun despite the heat. Apply sunscreen and keep cool ☀️ The park can feel kitschy at times but that’s part of the charm if you are into that sort of local immersion.

Very fun and informative. There is lots of colored commentary and double entendre jokes along the tour. Not sure if they offer tours in English though. It is recommended to bring a hat, sunglasses and some sunscreen. There is lots of walking and some areas aren’t very accessible if using a wheel chair or pushing a stroller. I wouldn’t recommend bringing small children as it can be hot and they probably wouldn’t enjoy the tour as much. A typical lunch is offered with beans, rice, ground beef, plantain and your only choice for a second meat is either chorizo or pork cracklings.

We had a great time here. The tour (in English) was very good. Everything was explained in great detail and you could also take part yourself, for example picking coffee beans. Everything was very informative and interesting and the area is simply beautiful. We had also booked lunch. I personally wasn't a fan of it, but others in the group really enjoyed it.
