Calling all gourmet coffee fanatics! Join this journey into the mountains by open-air safari truck or regular bus. The ride is half the fun, and the views are breathtaking -- an experience you're not likely to forget.
Venture off the beaten track and into the beautiful Dominican tropical forest to experience the legendary famous Dominican coffee. Meet local farmers, hear their stories, and learn the ins and outs of coffee production from bean to brew. Your participation helps to support economic opportunity for hardworking families, increasing income and wellbeing for coffee growers, creating employment opportunities, and keeping families and communities together.
Enjoy a cup (or two) of joe of one of the finest coffees. And you can put all your caffeinated energy to work by planting some coffee seedlings and taking a turn at roasting the beans -- an unforgettable, up-close look at the origins of your favorite morning ritual. You love the flavor and aroma of truly great coffee and learn what the buzz is all about.
At a beautiful mountain lodge, you'll also enjoy a delicious typical lunch (Dominican flag rice and beans) -- one of the Dominican people's most cherished culinary traditions.
