From here in the center of the island, depending on the weather we can choose to taste our famous local cheese while learning some of the region’s history or visit a local organic farm where coffee trees grow side-by-side with tropical fruits (banana, papaya, passion-fruit…). You will be able to meet the farm owners and learn from them while trying the locally produced coffee and other delicacies according to the season.
