Your private guide and driver will meet you for the short ride to the town of San Miguel Escobar, just outside of Antigua. In San Miguel, you will meet a farmer that owns a small, independent coffee plantation and promotes environmentally responsible agriculture in Guatemala. On this tour you will visit one of the families that works on this model. You can work side-by-side with coffee farmers as you help pick, pulp, ferment, wash, dry, thresh, sort, or grade the coffee (depending on the season); roast the coffee over an open fire; and grind it by hand on a grindstone before sampling the brew. After the coffee tour you will have a simple, traditional meal at a local home before transferring back to Antigua.
