We will continue walking to the central square, visiting the church and the Simón Bolívar park.

On this tour, we will be able to visit an organic coffee farm where we can learn about the bean production process in a very authentic way, from the seed and sowing, until obtaining the final product. Our guide will be Luis Alejandro, owner of Finca La Cabaña, who proudly and humbly shows us the success of his work and that of his father, who began growing coffee here over more than 50 years ago. At the end of the tour, Luis will invite us to enjoy some of his fantastic speciality coffees with all our senses. This tour can be adjusted to your preferences in terms of timing and content.

Following this, we will continue to El Tablón, an archaeological site where five statues of approximately 2 metres classified as female are exhibited, and where there is a small ethnographic museum organised by the residents of El Tablón township (this will only be visited, if open that day).

La Chaquira
