WakeCup is not a farm walkthrough — it's a day inside Colombia's coffee culture

The day unfolds in three stories. In the morning, in Pijao’s plaza, you discover how Colombians actually drink their coffee — at El Patio, a community nursery of medicinal plants, and Casa Solaz, a restored colonial house with its original courtyards. At midday, the town’s coffee cooperative and Carlos Arturo’s shop on the plaza show you how the beans that earned Colombia the world’s respect are bought and sold. In the afternoon, a Jeep Willys carries you into the fields, where Don Leo and his family hand you a basket: picking, artisan roasting, and a cupping of specialty coffees produced by the local farming families who partner with the tour.

Here, coffee is made by an entire community — the farmer who grows it, the merchant who sells it, the driver who carries it. And for one day, you are part of it.

WakeCup Tour is a bridge between travelers from all over the world and the farming families of the Andes, speaking one shared language: coffee.

One day, three stories: how we drink coffee, how we sell it, how we grow it

10:00 a.m. — How Colombians drink their coffee

The morning starts in Pijao’s plaza: coffee in everyday life, El Patio (a community nursery of medicinal plants) and Casa Solaz.

11:30 a.m. — How we sell it

The municipal coffee cooperative and Carlos Arturo’s shop on the plaza: this is how the beans that earned Colombia the world’s respect are bought and sold.

1:00 p.m. — How we grow it

A Jeep Willys takes you to Don Leo’s family farm: a traditional lunch, picking with baskets, artisan roasting and a cupping of specialty coffees.

Meeting point: Pijao’s main plaza, in front of the church — 10:00 a.m. (a 45-minute drive from El Edén airport, Armenia). Staying with our partner lodges? We pick you up at 9:30 a.m. You don’t need to look for anyone: our team will be waiting with a sign with your name on it.

The people behind your cup

Don Leo appears among the trees as you arrive at his farm. He grows, roasts, packs and sells his own specialty coffee — and cooks the lunch you’ll share at his family’s table. Carlos Arturo runs his own shop on Pijao’s plaza, selling coffee from his own harvest. They don’t perform for tourists: they open their working day to you.
