Everything was amazing! Upon arrival we were received with yummy fruit cocktails and a cold towel for our hands. The food was definitely made with love, and the service was very attentive. Every person was super sweet and made sure we had the best the experience possible. Can’t wait to go back!

We went on the full day tour at Aquiares, with Cecilia as our guide. She did a wonderful job explaining the history of the company, town and church. We also gained a lot of knowledge of the time and effort which goes into making every coffee. It was certainly a great experience to pick coffee beans, which gave us a great appreciation for the work that goes into this business. The lunch was absolutely amazing, and the tour of the factory was very interesting. We ended with sampling and testing several different coffees, which showed how much more we still have to learn. I would highly recommend this tour.

We spent the whole day with Celia touring the beautiful Aquiares Coffee Plantation. She was an excellent guide who truly cared about making your experience the best it could be. You get to see the entire coffee process from picking the cherries to roasting and tasting the finished product. Thank you for an awesome day and one of the highlights of our trip!

I started out with this experience realizing it was going to take some expense and time to get to Aquiares' La Esperanza. I even considered cancelling when I realized this. I am glad I didn't! Well worth the time and expense to get to the location. We arrived in the morning to La Esperanza and we were absolutely awestruck by this home. It's over 100 years old and has been recently updated while keeping all the charm. We enjoyed a light breakfast outside overlooking the volcano and gardens. Then our education of the town, people, company and plantation commenced. At every turn, we were enamored by the people and the educational aspect of the tour. This is what tourism should be all about. We loved it. We were a private group of four of us, and we felt like we received the VIP treatment the entire time. We saw how coffee starts out from seed, learned the educational aspects of the whole process, learned how the plantation operates, visited a national historic monument church located
