Description
Discover the story behind the coffee that shaped Costa Rica.
At Hacienda La Chimba, step into the golden era of the 1920s and explore a historic coffee estate where tradition, culture, and craftsmanship come together. This is more than a tasting, it’s a journey through time.
Begin inside the charming Coffee Museum House, where antique photographs and original objects reveal how coffee built families, communities, and the nation itself. Then stroll along cobblestone paths through lush gardens and working plantations, crossing the peaceful Koi Fish Bridge and visiting a colonial-style chapel inspired by Costa Rica’s historic architecture.
As the tour unfolds, follow the complete journey of coffee from seed and cultivation to harvesting, milling, and roasting. Learn how altitude, climate, and processing techniques transform a small cherry into one of the world’s most respected specialty coffees.
Finally, savor the reward. Taste Hacienda La Chimba’s high-altitude Arabica coffee in three distinct processes, washed, natural, and honey, and discover how each method creates unique aromas and flavor profiles.
Scenic, immersive, and culturally rich, this one-hour experience is perfect for coffee lovers, families, and travelers seeking a deeper connection to Costa Rica beyond the typical sightseeing route.
You’ll leave with more than great photos, you’ll leave understanding why coffee is at the heart of Costa Rica’s story.
