We will catch a ride to an organic coffee farm in the bordering town of San Luis. Once there, the owner of the farm, will give us a tour of his property and present insight on how he manages it. He will talk about the history of San Luis and how he started this organic farm many years ago. After this one-hour coffee tour, we invite you to go inside his home and have a delicious typical Costa Rican lunch prepared by his wife.
After spending time at the strangler fig tree, we will go towards the upper part of the mountains, passing the original central town of Monteverde. This is where the Quakers settled in the 1950s and founded the cheese factory as well as the Quaker school. Also we will take a look at CASEM the Cooperativa de Artesanas de Santa Elena y Monteverde, established in 1982 by a group of eight women artists. It is a non-profit artisan cooperative dedicated to enhancing the economic and social well-being of local women artists. The CASEM store and workshop, situated within the heart of Monteverde, is a showcase for unique, locally produced handicrafts. These handicrafts include decorative wall hangings, ceramics, clothes, bags, jewelry, toys and wood carvings.
The first and primary conservation area established in Monteverde. Founded in 1972, the Monteverde Cloud Forest Biological Reserve is among the most famous reserves in the world for its biodiversity, conservation, contributions, and scientific researches.

Overview
This tour is a unique experience which provides visitors with a true cultural understanding. Our philosophy was born from our local Monteverde family who wanted to give clients an exclusive excursion different than conventional tours. We aim to provide our clients with a extraordinary experience by fully immersing them in this vibrant culture. This tour begins with a walk to a hidden Strangler Fig Tree, where there is an option to climb inside of it. Here, we have the chance to meet Capuchin White Face monkeys and Howler monkeys, who are both frequent visitors to the area. After spending time at the tree, we will go towards the upper part of the mountains, passing the original central town of Monteverde. This is where the Quakers settled in the 1950s and founded the cheese factory as well as the Quaker school. We will then catch a ride to an organic coffee farm in the bordering town of San Luis.Know More about this tour

Andrés is a great your guide and speaks excellent English in addition to Spanish. Additionally, all his recommendations about tourist attractions and restaurants were spot on. He was always on time and friendly, I highly recommend using his company for services in Monte Verde and wherever possible in Costa Rica.

I stayed in Monteverde for a month and while there, I traveled within Monteverde and to many other cities. I used Faro Travel Costa Rica and was very pleased with the services provided as the staff were always professional, punctual, kind, friendly and helpful (especially Andres!). As I solo female traveler they helped me feel safe and also helped me book many activities/travels. I was able able to contact them at any time and would receive a quick reply, even when I would message them last minute about wanting to go somewhere/do something. I would recommend them to anyone visiting Monteverde or for anyone looking for a reliable tour company.
