Experience Details*
The Hacienda is nested in the mountains of Turrialba, 35 miles east of San Jose. You can’t miss the wonderful views of the valley, the magnificent Reventazón River, the impressive dam and the endless, regal fields that dot the landscape; a region blessed with exuberant tropical forests that harmoniously inhabit this area along with sugarcane, coffee plantations and tropical flowers.
Upon arrival at the Hacienda, you will have the opportunity to learn about the ancient methods of growing and processing sugarcane. An introduction to the coffee cultivation will allow you observe the process of roasting it and participate in a coffee tasting session.
After lunch, you will visit a picturesque colonial metal-and-wood chapel brought by German pilgrims in 1880. You’ll have time to visit the gift shop before you head back on the return route. They feature all of Hacienda’s products, such as coffee in different flavours, organic sugarcane products, recipes and other local keepsakes.
