This tour does pretty much exactly what it describes, but is <strong>so much more than just a visit to a coffee plantation<\/strong>. But I&#8217;ll start at the beginning&#8230;after meeting at their offices in La Candelaria, our group was driven south of the city for a couple of hours (including a stop for juice in Silvania, formerly a prosperous coffee-driven economy). Andres, in spite of the fact that he was driving, was a fount of information, giving us<strong> fascinating information about the history of the area, it&#8217;s flora and fauna and it&#8217;s modern situation<\/strong>, precisely and in excellent English.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_17168\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17168\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/seecolombia.travel\/blog\/2014\/12\/coffee-tour-indian-rock-art-with-andes-ecotours\/attachment\/117\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-17168\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17168\" src=\"http:\/\/seecolombia.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/117.jpg\" alt=\"Tibacuy Colombia\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/seecolombia.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/117.jpg 800w, https:\/\/seecolombia.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/117-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-17168\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Some of the amazing environment of Tibacuy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>We arrived in Tibacuy, in the shadow of the sacred Cerro del Quinini<\/strong>, soon after, and were met my a local community member. Our group walked the beautiful trails through the forest to the first coffee farm and rock art piece, all the while learning about the plants, fruits and birds of the region. <strong>Our first stop was a remarkable, huge flat-topped rock<\/strong>, which when we climbed up it revealed <strong>an intricate network of ancient carvings by the Panche indigenous people<\/strong> who once populated the area. The rock art is delicate, so bare feet are required, but the company is also taking steps to raise money to allow professionals to properly clean and preserve these important pieces of national heritage. This was one of the many reasons I loved discovering this world with Andes Ecotours: rather than simply bringing in tourists for a profit, <strong>they are committed to improving the lives of those they work with, and preserving the ecosystems they visit.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_17166\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17166\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/seecolombia.travel\/blog\/2014\/12\/coffee-tour-indian-rock-art-with-andes-ecotours\/rock-art-collage-fb\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-17166\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17166\" src=\"http:\/\/seecolombia.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Rock-Art-Collage-FB.jpg\" alt=\"Panche Rock Art Colombia\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/seecolombia.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Rock-Art-Collage-FB.jpg 800w, https:\/\/seecolombia.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Rock-Art-Collage-FB-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/seecolombia.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Rock-Art-Collage-FB-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-17166\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Learning about the Rock Art of the Panche people<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It was then onto the coffee farms: <strong>both farms we visited were small, sustainably-run ones, with largely manual machinery<\/strong>, and simply delicious coffee! We were shown around the farms by their owners, treated to demonstrations of the process (and had a go ourselves), and finally able to try the fruits of their hard-work, with <strong>a steaming hot mug of coffee.<\/strong> All of this took place in stunning surroundings: lush green forests, filled with colorful birds of all shapes and sizes,<strong> with the magnificent Cerro del Quinini looming large in the distance.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In between these coffee farm visits <strong>we were treated to an excellent vegetarian lunch by another local community member<\/strong>.

Well, <strong>APRENAT is an acronym for the Asociacion de Protectores de los Recursos Naturales de Tibacuy<\/strong> (or Association of the Protectors of the Natural Resources of Tibacuy). This group is made up of the 10 families of coffee-growers living and working in the area, whose farms we visited and who served as our guides for the day. <strong>This group is a grassroots organization committed to preserving coffee culture in the area, protecting the local rock-art and conserving the natural beauty of the area<\/strong>. Their excellent coffee is for sale at the end of the tour, and is well-worth a purchase if only to support such an important cause. It&#8217;s very easy to overlook small, independent groups like this, but <strong>Andes Ecotours is working closely with APRENAT to help them develop their tourism potential<\/strong> and maximise their impact.<\/p>\n<p>The entire trip was <strong>excellently organised, full of information and points-of-interest,<\/strong> and, as a coffee tour so far from &#8216;traditional&#8217; coffee zones, a nice little surprise at the same time. <strong>I would highly recommend anyone visiting Colombia<\/strong> to take a few extra days in Bogota and <strong>visit some of Colombia&#8217;s most underdeveloped natural wonders with Andes Ecotours.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_17170\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17170\" style=\"width: 507px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/seecolombia.travel\/blog\/2014\/12\/coffee-tour-indian-rock-art-with-andes-ecotours\/561060_186143194853154_1939492844_n\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-17170\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17170\" src=\"http:\/\/seecolombia.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/561060_186143194853154_1939492844_n.png\" alt=\"Andes Ecotours Colombia\" width=\"507\" height=\"502\" srcset=\"https:\/\/seecolombia.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/561060_186143194853154_1939492844_n.png 507w, https:\/\/seecolombia.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/561060_186143194853154_1939492844_n-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/seecolombia.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/561060_186143194853154_1939492844_n-300x297.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 507px) 100vw, 507px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-17170\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Andes Ecotours<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Practical Guide:<\/strong> Andes Ecotours is located Cra. 3 #12B-89 in La Candelaria.
