Overview
Don Juan is Monteverde's most popular farm tour, covering coffee, cacao, and sugar cane from cultivation to processing. Pick coffee cherries and learn roasting, crack open cacao pods to make handmade chocolate, and press sugar cane for fresh juice. 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.
