You arrive before sunrise on a winding mountain road; mist clings to the ridges and the minivan hums as it climbs toward a coffee villa perched above a valley. The air tastes of wet earth and green coffee leaves. A guide meets your party, and the day unfolds between working plantations, the cobbled plaza of Jardín, and an optional plunge under a roadside waterfall.
