This hacienda has won numerous awards for its coffee. It offers a coffee tour (COP$45,000) in English that includes an informative presentation about Colombian coffee, an introduction to coffee cupping, a class in coffee preparation and a walking tour through the plantation. You can use the pool afterwards, and a typical lunch is available for COP$12,000. The tour price includes transport to/from your hotel in Manizales.
The plantation is centered around a well-preserved paisa farm house with majestic views that has been converted into a lovely boutique hotel. The gardens are well kept, and there's a pond with lily pads and a round blue pool. The rooms are full of books, antiques and old photographs, while the wraparound veranda has hammocks and rocking chairs to rock away the evening.
There are also less atmospheric but clean and comfortable budget accommodations in a new building across the river from the main house, which also has its own swimming pool.
