A popular eco-travel trend is visiting coffee plantations around the world. Visiting a coffee plantation is always an interesting experience. We get to see just how the coffee we drink every day is cultivated, starting from seedling to the mature plant at its peak production rate. Before the end of the trip, you can try the locals’ favourite brew of coffee, which usually has unique flavour and scent due to the fact that it is as fresh as you can get.
Here Are Popular Destinations For Coffee Plantation Trips For 2020:
Poas, Costa Rica- the Central Valley of Costa Rica is known as an ideal location for growing coffee, thanks to daily rainfall, fertile volcanic soil and high altitude.

It’s best to visit Poas Valley between November and February to participate in the harvest. Nearby attractions are the La Paz Waterfall Gardens, the town of Sarchi and Poas Volcano National Park.
