Our stay at Finca el Cisne was the highlight of our trip to Honduras. We stayed 48 hours at the ranch and had two horseback rides, a visit to a local hot springs, tours of coffee plantations a coffee bean processing plant, and a private hydroelectric project and generally became acquainted for how a sustainable farm/ranch operation works in this...

We stayed one night at Fince el Cisne and really enjoyed it. The horseback ride is beautiful and you'll get to see some great views! It's interesting to learn about the process of making biologically grown coffee. After a great lunch we went to the Natural Hot Springs (which is a really really nice one). After the hot springs you... More

You can really tell that Carlos loves what he does. He is so proud of his family's farm, and why wouldn't you! Its so beautiful up there. His family have 1000 acres & grow coffee, cardamom & are starting to grow cacao, as well as having horses and cows. The horses are in amazing condition & you can tell that... More

We spent two nights and could have been there longer. The scenery is breath taking, loads of birds and the remoteness makes it special. The horseback riding is great, going through the vaste holdings of the Finca. The tours of the coffee and cardomon production was very interesting and then there is the walks through the rest of the forest/farm.... More

We had an awesome time on this trip (overnight stay). Initially we thought that the cost of the trip was a tad high (being on a backpacker budget). However, can see why they can charge a premium - absolutely everything is top notch. 1st the tour on the horses around the estate. The horses we had were excellent (mine was... More

This was our favorite place during our week in Honduras. Carlos arranges for 45min transport to and from Copan Ruinas up a dirt road with farming villages scattered along it. The horseback ride provided a lovely tour of the farm, from coffee fields to mountain meadows to the new hydroelectric plant. This plant, along with the coffee processing plant, demonstrate... More

I return to the Finca after having done the day trip three years ago: I had promissed myself to stay a few days the next time. Good call! The place is pure magic: beautiful mountains all around and the best hospitality possible by Carlos and his crew. I stayed four days at the finca and enjoyed the best rest and... More

Finca El Cisne is the best way to see rural Honduras. Carlos is the perfect guide, taking you into his "backyard", giving both a unique and personal tour of what life is like in the country. He speaks about the culture, history and current situation in Honduras with informed opinions and great humor. It is possible to visit Finca El... More

I regret that we did not stay more than the full day. Carlos shared so much wonderful knowledge and was a pleasure to spend the day with. He even took the time to drive us back into Copan Ruinas as my fellow farmers and I picked his brain so hard I think we may have stayed at the finca longer... More
