From the ride in a cute van, horse back riding to the farm with spectacular views, to the greeting with a refreshing drink then coffee, the coffee tour so interesting and one gets to plant a coffee plant with uour name on it.

Meet at Clínica Antienvejecimiento in Antioquia for water therapy pools followed by a deep relaxation massage in an Amazon or Temazcal themed room. The private experience is offered in English or Spanish, costs $215 per person, and suits adults seeking a quiet spa session.
“I arrived at the agreed time and they made me wait almost an hour to get in. The place is nice and the service is average. I didn't like that they didn't even offer a glass of water. I liked the hydrotherapy massages as well as the final massage. They need to improve a lot, especially in terms of service and not fill up with people if they know they can't handle the demand. Honestly, there are better places for this price.”
Travel by private vehicle from Pereira, Filandia, Armenia, or Salento to Santa Rosa de Cabal. Your driver takes you to the thermal springs, where you have about three hours for the pools, waterfall, changing rooms, and restaurant. This is mainly transport and entry, not a guided tour.
“Similar to other reviewers, this is not a tour. It is a transport from your hotel to the Hot spring. Santos, the driver, is nice and on time (early evening) on picking up. The drive is around an hour from downtown Pereira. Once arrived, santos accompanied me to the ticket counter to get my ticket. I have 3 hours to spend in the hot springs. Overall it around 5 hours total for the experience”

“Loved this experience! The tour was in Spanish, but we used Google Translate and a lot of hand motions and got by. The dinner and breakfast had huge portions, homemade and delicious. The coffee was very good! However, wear insect repellent in the morning - mosquitoes love me and I had some bug bites from walking around the coffee bushes.”
