RECUCA Coffee Culture Tour
Recorrido de la Cultura Cafetera
A day on a rural coffee estate outside Calarcá, where you dress as a coffee farmer, pick coffee, learn folk dance, and taste farmhouse food.
RECUCA is a farm on the outskirts of Calarcá that offers an immersive coffee culture experience. Visitors put on traditional coffee-farmer clothing and, with a guide, walk into the coffee fields to pick beans. They learn about coffee processing and the history of mule transport, study local folk dances, and finish with coffee and a farmhouse lunch. The experience takes about 3 to 4 hours. It suits families and groups, and advance reservations are required. It is about 30 minutes by car from Armenia.
