Finca La Victoria

Minca


Founded in the late 19th century, this family-run coffee plantation offers interesting 40-minute tours (usually available in English) in which the coffee-production process is carefully explained. Upstairs there's a charming cafe perfect for a cup of the plantation's coffee accompanied by a moist piece of cake. It's a steep 1½-hour walk from Minca, or take a motorbike (COP$10,000).
