Coffee Trips and Trekking

Have you ever wanted to take a little vaca and learn a bit more about where coffee comes from? JavaVentures is a company that can help you do that. There are trips that can take you to Costa Rica, Guatemala, Peru and others. Many of these are planned for later in the year during normal harvest times, so you can see how the picking and processing works, which I am sure can be a great time on a coffee farm. One past trip to Peru was also focused on FairTrade coffee, learning about smaller coffee farms, and organic growing. The stops at Macchu Picchu and Cusco sound cool too.
