Colombia
Most coffee tours are in the coffee region of Caldas, Quindío and Risaralda, around Salento, Manizales and Pereira, which UNESCO listed in 2011 as the Coffee Cultural Landscape of Colombia. Southwest of Medellín, farms in Fredonia and Jardín run day and half-day tours. On the Caribbean side, Minca in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta has coffee farms with short tours, and near Bogotá there are farms in Fusagasugá and La Mesa within a day trip.

Colombia's coffee region: how to plan a visit
Colombia's coffee region is the hill country of Caldas, Quindío and Risaralda, around Manizales, Armenia and Pereira, each with its own airport. Base yourself in Salento, Filandia or Manizales; farm tours there cost COP 60,000 to COP 210,000 and last 90 minutes to about 2 hours 45 minutes.
Medellín to Salento
Salento is reached from Medellín by bus from the Terminal del Sur, by a flight to Pereira or Armenia and then 50 km (31 miles) or 25 km (16 miles) by road, or by car south on Ruta 25. Coffee farms in Fredonia, near Manizales and around Salento can break the trip.
