Finca San Rafael - Cafe y Cacao

Incredible experience especially if you get the pool / jungle view in the Supremo room.
The food is amazing, service is great, it’s located in the middle of the jungle for a complete retreat.
Highly recommended.

They are so nice here! John on the coffee and cacao tour was amazing! The pool has a great view and the people are so nice. We just walked up from Minca and took us less than an hour, although it was definitely not an super easy walk, but it was definitely worth it. We didn't stay overnight and just came for the day.

Great place to do a coffee/cacao tour (didn’t stay here). Really picturesque pool overlooking the mountains and tour is 30.000 COP including coffee and hot chocolate at end plus use of pool. Also an awesome viewpoint you can hike to from here.

Finca San Rafael is a peaceful jungle escape with beautiful vegetation and quiet mountain views. The finca feels fully authentic and offers a relaxing, nature-centered experience.
The hot, fresh, unlimited coffee and cacao grown right on the farm was one of the highlights of our entire trip. The staff were kind, welcoming, and clearly passionate about the finca. It’s rustic, not luxurious, but if you want a true finca experience surrounded by nature, this is exactly the place.
The only thing we wish we had known beforehand is how rough the road is getting up to the property. The access road is steep and very bumpy, so guests should be prepared before arriving.
Overall, an authentic and memorable finca stay with amazing farm-grown coffee and cacao, warm staff, and beautiful views. One of our favorite spots in Minca.

Finca San Rafael is a beautiful place to unwind in the heart of Minca. Set among lush vegetation with mountain views in the distance, it offers a peaceful and authentic finca atmosphere. This isn’t a luxury-style stay — it’s rustic by design — and that’s exactly the experience we wanted.
The unlimited hot coffee and cacao grown right on the property were unforgettable. Starting the morning with fresh brews made from beans grown a few feet away was a highlight. The staff were kind, welcoming, and passionate about the finca, which made the visit even more enjoyable.
One thing travelers should be aware of: the road leading to the finca is extremely rough. It’s steep, bumpy, and definitely something we would have liked a heads-up about in advance. Not a dealbreaker at all, but worth noting so guests come prepared.
Overall, Finca San Rafael delivers an authentic finca stay with incredible coffee, friendly staff, and a peaceful setting. A memorable stop in Minca.

We took the cacao and coffee farm tour. Cesar was very knowledgeable and an amazing host! You’ll come out of this tour knowing the step by step process of cacao and coffee production. The property is beautiful and really not a bad hike if you’re coming from Minca.

Updated after owner reply:
Their treatment of both visitors and employees is clear from his responses—full of disregard, with zero accountability or any genuine effort to improve.
Just go to Finca La Victoria. We really enjoyed their tour. Access by regular car is easy.

We weren’t able to take the coffee tour because reaching the location turned out to be impossible. Although we were told it could be accessed with an SUV, the reality is that the last 200 meters require a proper 4x4 vehicle. The only alternatives are hiring a transport service or walking.
Unfortunately, my wife had to go on foot to inform them we couldn’t make it, and she slipped and fell along the way. Instead of showing concern, the man present (possibly the owner) simply smirked, as if amused by the situation. This left us with a very poor impression.
If this behavior reflects how they usually treat guests, it feels more like disdain than hospitality. After reading some reviews mentioning similar experiences, I’m beginning to think those comments might be accurate.

We didn't stay here, we took a tour of the coffee/Cacao plantation. This place is beautiful! It's so green and lush. I loved seeing their cats and dogs roaming. Their staff was very friendly. Upon arrival, we were given some of their delicious coffee. When the tour was over, we were offered to sample some of their other products, such as facial cacao mask, honey, caffeine eye cream, and Sacha Inchi oil.

Such a magical place. We arrived a bit late, but the lady there was so kind, she offered us some of the best coffee we’ve ever had and encouraged us to explore the property. Everyone we encountered was warm and welcoming. The trek up, the views, and the entire experience were incredible. I had the best time exploring.

We took the coffee and cacao tour. The tour guide Cesar was great! He explained the history of the finca, plants, and the indigenous people. The coffee face mask was nice. Terrain is a little difficult so make sure you have good hiking shoes. The coffee fruit was delicious. The views were amazing.

Nice and interesting tour with guide Jessi. Very calm and beautiful place for a tour and also having Lunch. We even saw a Tucan and had a, good time.
I definitely can recommend this place, it's not touristic at all and very calm for having a good time.

December 2024 — 2 nights.
If you're ready to experience the true Minca, this is your place.
Lovely family-run farm nestled in the forest and surrounded by nature.
Do not expect fanciness but enjoy the friendly atmosphere and freshly made delicious meals and unlimited 100% organic coffee and hot chocolate.
The sunset view by the beach is priceless!

A fantastic experience.
We went on a one-hour cocoa and cafe tour at Finca San Rafael. We were guided through ecological and well-kept grounds where cocoa and coffee are grown. The guide explained many interesting facts about the cultivation and the history of the area itself. The equipment used for further processing was also explained. There was a tasting at the end.
The tour was very spontaneous and personal. We hadn't booked in advance.
It was absolutely worth it. Absolutely recommendable!

Excellent tour with nice views and an interesting story. Moreover, the restaurant offers delicious food and all the staff is very friendly.
Tour guides are very experienced as they are also in charge of gathering the crops of Cacao and coffee.

Unfortunately, it didn't meet the expectations at all.
I saw such a high rating on Google but definitely not worth it.
It's a 40 min walk from Minca (the walk there is actually nice) but the finca is not well kept, the plants were all messy, dry, there were a few coffee beans on the coffee plants and we saw a couple of small cacao fruits.
The guy gave us some basic info but around the farm is not well kept.
For 30, 000 COP per person (6.5 euros), I wouldn't recommend it at all.

We did the "coffee tour" here and unfortunately were very disappointed.
It doesn't seem like a coffee farm per se, and although they cultivate coffee, the tour was more like a walk on the property.
My partner knew more information than what was provided to us by the guide who couldn't answer our questions. They severely lack organisation, professionalism, and more so, structure around what they would offer as a tour.
Even though people were kind, I wouldn't recommend this "tour. "
The walk there was stunning, though.

After attending an excellent coffee tour in salento, I was really looking forward to the cocoa tour here. Unfortunately, it was a big disappointment. It was nothing more than a short walking tour on the farm "Look here cocoa plant" with almost no explanations. Sorry, I can't recommend the tour at all.
