Coffee Route Experience

Discover the journey behind every cup.

Just minutes from Medellín, hidden among the green mountains of Sabaneta, lies Bosques de La Doctora, a family-owned coffee farm where passion, tradition, and innovation come together to create an unforgettable Colombian experience.

For more than three decades, the Durango family has dedicated their lives to cultivating exceptional coffee. What began as a search for new opportunities became a life project that now shares authentic Colombian coffee with visitors from around the world.

This is not simply a coffee tour. It is an opportunity to connect with the people, traditions, and stories behind one of Colombia’s most iconic products.

The Story Behind the Coffee

The farm is home to Café Marquesina, a specialty coffee brand created by Antonio Durango after years of studying and perfecting the art of coffee production.

Every stage takes place on the farm itself: planting, harvesting, sorting, depulping, fermentation, drying, milling, roasting, and packaging.

Some coffee trees require up to three years before producing the beans that eventually become a single cup of coffee.

Today, visitors from all over the world help carry Café Marquesina beyond Colombia’s borders, sharing its story one bag of coffee at a time.

This experience is a celebration of Colombian resilience, family traditions, and the passion that transforms a simple coffee bean into a world-class product.
