Wish we had more time there to grab a bite with that amazing view, but we had to make our tour with the coffee plantation. The tour exceeded my expectations. The grounds were like a tropical paradise & Juan did a great job explaining the coffee process along with other interesting facts. The coffee & coffee liquor we sampled was delicious! All in all, a wonderful day.”

The farm is located deep in the park, and the journey to get there is longer than expected, but great views. The guides and attendants were very kind and friendly!”
