Great tour of the organic coffee plantation and an excellent explanation of how coffee gets from the plant to the cup. The music museum / tour and Mayan cultural village mock ups was also very interesting. I had a great couple of hours here. And the coffee is delicious. More

Not only is the coffee processing fascinating, but the whole, and smallish, museum is so colorful and interesting. Worth the trip. More

It offers free city transfer from Antigua and the driver will pick you up from your hostel. The guided tour is every hour and offers a glimpse to everything to know about coffee as well as Mayan music and customs. Worth the visit (entrance fee: Q50/person) More

I had visited a coffee plantation in Costa Rica and another one in Brazil, but this one was close by and also offered two museums, one on coffee and one on Mayan music. Everything was very interesting and well worth the entrance fee. You can buy coffee and crafts at the boutiques on the site. If you have more time,... More

Free shuttle to the museums from parque central on the hour from 9 am although it's not located too far from the centre. Costs 50 q to enter. There is a tour on the half hour every hour which alternate between the musical instrument museum and coffee museum. Both museums are interesting. There is a film in the instrument museum.... More

I visited this coffee farm in Dec 2011 as other Philadelphia was too expensive. Music part here was very nice presented, but I was dissapointed with coffee part. Our guide was pretty young guy and he wasn't able to answer on some basic questions. Others said that Philadelphia farm is much nicer, but more expensive as well. More

I visited Finca La Azotea coffee farm with Museo del Caffee - a must for everyone who undestands thet proper coffee is not a 1/2 litre mug full of black liquid to start. Museum will show you all stages from growing coffee plants to preparing your favorite cup. Don't hesitate, just go and see it. More
