Sip n' Cycle Coffee and Mountain Bike Tour

This is a beginner to intermediate mountain bike ride combined with a very unique experience to visit a local Guatemalan family. These families are members a local coffee farming co-op and you will learn first hand how they work among the coffee co-op on a daily basis. We will take a private tour with one of the co-op farmers to their field and then go to their house to see how they toast the coffee on a small batch at a time level. Finally we will have lunch with the family before riding back to Antigua.

The Ride: Our ride out to the coffee coop of De la Gente is the opposite of seeing a large scale production farm.This ride will take us to a community on the flank of Volcan de Agua where local farmers work together as a co-op to grow, pick and process their own coffee for export. De La Gente works with the local farmers’co-op to help them brand their coffee and reach markets in North America and Europe. We will take a private tour with one of the co-op farmers to their field and then go to their house to see how they toast the coffee on a small batch at a time level.
