Don Juan is Monteverde's most popular farm tour, covering coffee, cacao, and sugar cane from cultivation to processing.

Guides explain Costa Rica's agricultural history and the significance of fair-trade coffee, making it educational and fun. Buy farm-produced coffee and chocolate afterwards.
Travel Tips
Afternoon tours are less crowded. The hands-on chocolate-making is the highlight. Pick up farm-direct coffee as a souvenir.
