Private 8-hour coffee farm day from Bogotá at Hacienda Coloma with tastings of coffee and coffee liquor, gardens, and optional lunch.
“Such a great tour. The farm in itself is very interesting, the staff are very knowledgeable, kind and professional. Jessica was our tour guide in the farm and we went with Sergio who was our guide from Bogota. We laughed a lot and learned a lot, got to pick beans and learn about the entire process. The farm had some chickens and rabbits too, and it was very beautiful to learn the history of coffee in Colombia. Would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting Bogota.”

Private 90-minute Latin dance class in Bogotá covering Colombian salsa, merengue, bachata, and vallenato, tailored for your level.
“My husband and I (60+) were attending a relative's wedding in Bogota and wanted to be able to hold our own on the dance floor, so we booked a 90 minute salsa lesson. Our instructor Laura was wonderful -- patient and did a great job helping us with the basic steps of merengue and salsa (including the special steps of Colombian salsa). It was a little tricky for us finding the studio, but Laura was responsive and helpful. There's a great big mall across the street if you want to shop and pick up an Uber from there. Highly recommend and we had a great time on the dance floor!”
