Birds and Coffee Tour
The San Agustín Birds and Coffee Tour is the perfect combination for lovers of coffee and birdwatching!
Along this route you’ll see the birds living in Colombia’s productive landscapes where they can feast on the fruits and shelter in the woodlands. These birds thrive among the coffee farms, banana plantations, fruit orchards and vegetable fields.
As well as fantastic birding, you can walk through the coffee plantations, taste great single-origin coffee, and learn all about the production process from bean to cup. When the local fruits are in season we can try some of them, too.
Discover the relationship between birds and the production of this iconic fruit and get firsthand experience of the processes developed to combine sustainable coffee production with bird conservation.
