My husband and I went on a long-awaited trip to Colombia during challenging Covid -19 times. Trip to Medellin exceeded our expectations. We are still in awe of an experience from two full day tours we took with Andres from MedellinDayTrips. He is a genuine, very knowledgeable guide, passionate about his city and his country. We were lucky to find him for our first trip to Colombia.
Our first tour with him was a trip to a local coffee farm in a breathtakingly beautiful Antioquian countryside followed by a visit to a picturesque town Jardín. We were deeply touched by warmth and hospitality of our host – the owner of the coffee plantation Jaime Marin and his family. We enjoyed immensely the views of the valley over his delicious coffee and al fresco lunch prepared for us by the family from the ingredients they grow on the farm. After hands- on experience of picking coffee beans and detailed explanation of the complex coffee growing process by Andres, we will definitely appreciate much more our coffee drinking habits. Nearby coffee town Jardín is absolutely beautiful! Andres gave us a brief overview of history and culture and showed us the most important spots in town, including famous, local pastry shop and a small cable car.
Thanks to Andres, the entire day was an authentic and unforgettable experience not to be missed if you are visiting Medellin.
