Panama produces some of the most sought-after coffee in the world. The volcanic ash of the soil around the Barú Volcano in Western Panama allows locals to grow the delicious — and expensive — Geisha beans. It’s one of the primary driving forces behind the economy in the country and there are numerous tours to try.
Finca Lerida is a coffee plantation and hotel hybrid that sits on 500 acres of cloud forest near the base of the Barú Volcano. As such it has exclusive access to some of the region’s most stunning wildlife and hiking trails.
The Kotowa Estates is one of the oldest coffee plantations in Panama. The Macintyre family has run the plantation for three generations, going back nearly 100 years. They offer daily tours of the farm and the surrounding Palo Alto hills.
The organic Finca Dos Jefes farm is a rarity among coffee plantations as it allows you to get hands on and pack your own bag of beans. It’s a great reward for getting your hands dirty and the stunning location offers seven acres of beauty to explore.
The Janson Coffee Farm in western Chiriqui is close to many spectacular outdoor adventures in the region. Along with the coffee farm, a trip here can also include kayaking in the highest lake system in Panama or horseback riding through the numerous trails around the farm.
Café Ruiz is serious about its coffee, which is why they ask all visitors to refrain from wearing scents of any kind — they want you to get the full aromatic experience. They offer an extensive tasting tour where you’ll learn all about the complexities of coffee and how the process of creating it happens.
