Wonderful Colombian hospitality. Very welcoming and lovely family. A once in a lifetime opportunity for a visiting Australian. Jorge speaks English which is a bonus. Not to forget their delicious coffee which I was able to drink black without the help of any sugar or milk, which is not normal for me. A must for coffee lovers and dog lovers too. The family have a least 6 dogs on the property. The accommodation was very comfortable with incredible views of the coffee plantation.

Great and informative your with lovely and knowledgeable guides. Everything you'd want to know about coffee in an afternoon. Amazing setting too, and a quick bus+taxi from Manizales.

Great experience, perfect way to discover the coffee world. Family was very nice, we had a nice tour, clear explanations and good degustation! Totally recommended. Price per person is 50000COP but totally worth it.

LOVED our stay here - we had a massive room with a beautiful view to ourselves, the food was delicious, and we learned a lot during the coffee tour. Highly recommend staying here

This place is an unforgettable experience. A 65 hectare coffee farm in the gorgeous Caldas region in operation for 75 years Comprehensive coffee knowledge & experience. 3 hours that begins with a cup of delicious coffee (skip the sugar). Then a tour of the finca where you will press the cherry, pick it, bring it to the sorter, the demucousifier, dryer, parchment remover, 13 steps of certified Colombian coffee. Then back to the mirador where you learn to taste the differences in extraction. Santiago does an impressive job in English, and Sr. Juan was the consummate host.

Extremly welcoming and friendly owners. Very passionate about coffee. Excellent coffee tour and meals. Many thanks!!

We enjoyed a fabulous coffee tour at this family-run place. It was very interactive, informative and organised, and the host was super friendly. He was able to answer any question thrown at him about coffee or Colombia. Lunch was made using food grown on site. Loved all the exotic birds around, including parrots, toucans and woodpeckers. The family dogs seemed to enjoy the tour too. :) Can't think of anything negative -- a very wonderful and memorabe experience!

We were a group four staying at Hacienda Guayabal for three nights in one of the cabins. We had a wonderful time in the cabin and in the beautiful property. From the moment we arrived, we were amazed at the beauty and peacefulness around us. We spent some of our first afternoon just reading on the balcony overlooking the mountains. The only problem we had was deciding on how to divide our time on the hammock. Jorge and his family running the hotel and restaurant were very professional and the place was very well run. The food was great and the staff were very attentive and kind. Jorge helped us find transportation and worked with us every step of the way to make our stay very memorable. We did the coffee tour with Phillipe and it was really interesting. He had so much knowledge and passion for the coffee and process at Hacienda Guayabal. Our group would stay here again if we find ourselves in Chinchina again.

A wonderful peaceful coffee finca in a beautiful setting. The family running the hotel and restaurant was very professional and the place was very well run. Food was great, room was very comfortable, staff were very attentive. We did the coffee tour and it was really interesting. I'd go back in a heartbeat.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND - Santiago, our guide, was absolutely wonderful - informative, interactive, very smart and generally a lovely guy. He studied biology and so also was able to point out all the local plants and wildlife. The tour was about 4 hours and we learnt everything from planting the coffee plant right to trying the (deliciously smooth) coffee. We also loved the stunning views, friendly dogs and fascinating hummingbirds (which you can sit and watch up close). Thank you Santiago and Jorge! Tip: don’t bother getting a taxi from Manizales, the bus is very easy and MUCH cheaper.

A fabulous place to spend a day.and a night. So beautiful, the coffee tour was perfect and the owners and staff were so lovely. The cooking and the rooms were first class too

Such a nice little oasis in a beautiful part of the country. Jorge speaks good English and was extremely available and even offered his number so that I could call him for anything during my stay in Colombia. The rooms are rustic and charming. The views outstanding. Highly, highly recommend their in house coffee tour which literally walks you through the entire process from harvesting to sampling different brewing methods. Honestly one of my best memories from my whole Colombia trip.

We loved every bit of our stay at this wonderful Place in the middle of coffee mountains. Jorge and all the staff were so welcoming and couldn’t have made our stay more pleasant. The coffee tour with Santiago was very interesting, you will learn everything about the process from picking the fruit to making an espresso - go on the tour!! We had the best time and would highly recommend everyone who wants to spend some peaceful time to visit this coffee paradise! Thank you Jorge!

We had a great stay at Hacienda El Guayabal! The attention was really impeccable: The owners and employees were all incredibly caring and helpful. I cite: 'you are our guests and while you are here we need to take good care of you'. Especially Pilo would anticipate any wish you may have. We also enjoyed the coffee tour with Santiago very much. And the cooking, which was at the same time simple and still imaginative and of very high quality.

Beautiful coffee plantation!! The owner and staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. I would recommend this place to everyone.

Bei der Ankunft auf der Hacienda Guayabal wurden wir mit einem guten Kaffee und viel Freundlichkeit von der Farm empfangen. Für Interessierte gibt es die Möglichkeit an einer sehr informativen verständlichen Kaffee Tour teilzunehmen. Für unsere 7 Tage Aufenthalt gab es drumherum genug zu sehen oder einfach einen Spaziergang in die Kaffee Plantagen. Die Mahlzeiten sind vom Frühstück, Mittagessen und Abendessen stets frisch zubereitet. Zum Frühstück natürlich nur Kaffee vom Besten aus eigner Produktion. Die Menschen auf der Farm sowie der Umgebung waren stets sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit! Auch bei Nebel ist die Landschaft ein verwunschener und reizvoller mystischer Ort. Die fernen Berge im Hintergrund mit untergehender Sonne und Wolken, die Kaffee Plantagen mit Bäumen als Theater Bühne verführen den Besucher mit Licht und Schattenspielen!l
