By area
Central Valley
The coffee estates around Heredia and Alajuela are within an hour of San José and the airport, so they are the easiest tours to fit into a Costa Rica trip.
Monteverde
Monteverde's tours combine coffee, chocolate and sugarcane on one farm visit, a short drive from the cloud forest reserve.
Tarrazú
Tarrazú, in the mountains south of San José, is Costa Rica's best known coffee region. Its cooperative in Santa María de Dota runs tours.
Guides
Buying a farm or finca in Costa Rica
Coffee fincas in Costa Rica sit inland, mostly between 800 and 1,900 meters, and sell their fruit through a system regulated by the Coffee Institute (ICAFE). This page covers what a finca is, where the coffee grows, and how prices and agents work.
Coffee and chocolate from the Costa Rica cruise ports
None of the coffee or chocolate farms listed here states a pickup from Puerto Limón or Puntarenas, so a farm visit from either port means a car or a ship's excursion. From Limón, Route 32 climbs to the Central Valley and passes within a mile of Sibö Chocolate; from the Pacific side, Route 27 runs from Caldera to San José.
San José to the coffee farms
The closest coffee farms to San José and Juan Santamaría airport (SJO) are in Heredia and Alajuela, from about 20 minutes away; Britt Coffee Tour sells transport from hotels in San José, Heredia and Alajuela. Tarrazú, Monteverde and La Fortuna are day trips or overnight stops on Route 2, Route 1 and its branches.
