Guest access A BRIEF WALKABOUT: After settling in, you will most certainly want to walk down the path through the coffee orchard. As you drop down you pass Limon and Naranjo (orange) trees. Arriving at the first shelf you look back up at the casitas and across the more expansive view of the valley to the cities of San Jose, Grecia, Atenas, and Escazu. You are staying on an operational and very vibrant coffee farm which I run on my own. I have been doing so for the last 10 years as my Mother did for 20 years prior to that. We encourage you to soak up the entire life on a coffee farm while you are here. Should you want to see the coffee processing facility we will do what we can.
