Colombia · COFFEE TOURS IN CARTAGENA
A trip has one spare day and a hundred ways to spend it. These 8 coffee tours in Cartagena earn the slot, priced and timed so the decision takes minutes.
In Cartagena’s Café 472, guides such as Thomas, Santiago, Arturo, and Pedro lead a two-hour class on Colombian coffee. You’ll trace beans from plantation to cup, smell coffee aromas, taste fruit and chocolate, and compare Chemex, V60, and siphon brewing for $15.
“it was a great experience! I learned a lot and had fun at the same time”
Meet David at Café del Mural in Getsemaní for a two-hour lesson on Colombian coffee, roasting, brewing styles, and coffee history. Taste four to five samples, enjoy snacks, and take home a 200-gram bag of premium coffee. Expect a hosted demonstration rather than a fully hands-on workshop.
“David was super knowledgeable about coffee, the roasting process, global bean varieties, coffee history and more. We got to sample multiple coffee varieties and brewing styles. Definitely worth it, especially if you love coffee. Plus, we David is very funny and didn’t rush through the class, and we go to take down Colombian coffee home with us. Would do again!”
See Cartagena’s key sights in a private, air-conditioned vehicle with an English or Spanish guide. Visit San Felipe Castle and La Popa Convent, walk from the Clock Tower through the old city, and finish with Colombian coffee in Getsemaní. Guides such as Martin, Eduardo, William, and Hernan have led past tours.
“Excelent ! The guide was a very pleasant person, and knew a lot about the city history. I recommend it to everyone.”
Spend two hours walking Cartagena’s Historic Center and Getsemaní with an English-speaking guide such as Sofi, Daniel, or Milena. Taste Colombian coffees, learn professional tasting basics, meet baristas, and compare brewing styles at specialty cafes. The group is limited to six, with tastings served black and caffeinated.
“I absolutely loved this! This experience is both a coffee tasting (of various artisanal shops around the old city) and a verbal lesson on the history and cultivation process of coffee in colombia. I thought it was a very all-encompassing experience that left me with a far greater understanding of coffee and colombian culture. The coffe shops are super cool and the coffee itself was great at each stop. I’ve never been coffee tasting before so for me, I was able to work on refining my palate. Sofi, my guide is also so sweet, knowledgeable and accomodating. Would highly reccomend for any coffee lovers or anyone who wants to learn…”
