We have such good memories from our stay at Tio Conejo. We were looking for a small place to stay. I am interested in birding and we were also looking to do a coffee tour in a small coffee farm. This place appeared to have everything we were looking for. From the beginning, the communication and planning was excellent. We had the coffee tour, coffee tasting, lodging, food, overnight stay and a birding tour in the morning, all at the same place. We highly recommend!

We did the tour, which takes a few hours, and stayed overnight for two nights. It was a wonderful and relaxing experience. Ivanov, who speaks perfect English, is passionate about what he does and it shows. The tour groups are kept small, which gives it more of a “real” feel and not a commercial type of experience. The accommodation is simple but proper. The beds are comfortable and there is a functional shower and toilet. The view in the morning is fantastic. Bring plenty of sunscreen and wear a hat though, even when if it seems the sun isn’t shining. I also would like to point out that the food served to us was awesome at all times.

This was our first coffee farm experience and it set the bar high. They have a wonderful story and purpose, they truly care about their product and the community which they influence. It was beautiful to see their land and process.

What an incredible experience! The family welcomed me with open arms. They made sure I received the best knowledge of coffee and so much info! The views are beyond incredible. I can't wait to return again. Thank you for making my trip to Manizales so special!

Stayed 1 night as a group of 4. Accommodations were nice, views amazing. The dinner, and other meals prepared by the owners for me was the best part. My friends are into coffee but I didn't care much for it. Its a small farm so doesn't take long to complete the tour.

One of the best authentic experiences I've done on my life. Day starts with your of coffee plantation but Ivanov explains how he decided to make it sustainable from an environmental, social and economic basis. This is a must see for anyone interested in more than just a quick visit to see crops and a coffee gift shop.

Best coffee farm experience for a family. It's a private individualized tour. We were amazed with the care, love and attention paid by Frank and Johanna to their farm and to us. Frank's passion for coffee and his knowledge was commendable. A must do experience in Manizales.

One of the best places I ever visit in my life... it was a great experience that helps to appreciate a goooood cup of coffee.

Best coffee experience I've ever had! From the beginning of the tour you get an amazing view with a cup of their original coffee. During the tour you get to walk through the coffee fields and explore more of their terrain. They have room for people that want to stay the night in the fields, which I will definitely come back to do! Also, thank you to Santiago for giving us the history and stages of how coffee is produced and all their different agriculture produced on their land. The terrain is intermediate on some areas, but Santiago was very patient and careful with us making sure we were always good. After walking the fields, the tour includes a very delicious meal made with products produced on their land. We had pumpkin soup, roasted vegetables, and pasta with ground meat. After dinner, we had another more in-depth of how the different grains taste like after being brewed and the different ways to enjoy coffee in the brewing making. Honestly, if I can give this spot more than 5 stars, I would! Only downfall is getting there, it is a steep hill and the entrance is even steeper. So take that in consideration with the vehicle you are driving with to get in. But don't let this sway you away, it's definitely a great experience to have!

Very good half day trip..well above our expectations. The staff are all very nice and knowledgeable.. We had a comprehensive tour and a very warm welcome, furnished with an excellent lunch.. Worth every penny..

Visiting Tio Conejo and meeting the Castellanes family was a pivotal moment in our trip to Colombia. From the first WhatsApp message the night before our visit it was clear that it will be a special experience. You should be prepared for the entire day of adventures with old friends. And if course this will include amazing coffee, great landscapes and the real Colombian food. The warmth and kindness of those people will make you feel a part of their big family. Muchas gracias a Ivanoff, Angela y especialmente Santi. Un abrazo muy fuerte a ustedes todos.

Beautiful place and breathtaking view. Perfect guide: with lots of knowledge/information, passion and humor. And the host/owner is a very friendly person, a master of cooking with a big heart for ecological fair trade/farming.

Very great experience, lot of passion for coffee and very beautiful. Our guide Santiago was very professional, friendly and knowledgeable.

Very beautiful finca! Family business and they were very accommodating and flexible for my last minute request to join a tour. Small groups and more personal experience
