About this activity
This is a beginner to intermediate mountain bike ride with a tour of a local coffee farming co-op.
The Ride: Our ride out to the coffee coop of De la Gente is the opposite of seeing a large scale production farm.This ride will take us to a community on the flank of Volcan de Agua where local farmers work together as a co-op to grow, pick and process their own coffee for export. De La Gente works with the local farmers’co-op to help them brand their coffee and reach markets in North America and Europe. We will take a private tour with one of the co-op farmers to their field and then go to their house to see how they toast the coffee on a small batch at a time level. Finally we will have lunch with the family before riding back to Antigua. A portion of your trip price goes straight to the farmer/co-op.
Highlights:
Explore the Antigua valley
Meet and interact with small local coffee farmers
Sample various blends of some of the best coffee Guatemala has to offer
Learn about how coffee is planted, harvested, and produced, from picking to packaging
Enjoy a home cooked meal in the home of your host coffee farmer
Trip Information:
Start time: 9:00 AM
End time: 2:00 PM
Professional guide, mountain bike, helmet, water bottle, and lunch included
