What you can expect
The Magic of Nature tour consists of fourteen stations that combine wonder, tranquility, and memory across three hectares in Santa Elena.
01 Café del Poeta Station: Tasting of export-grade coffee with a talk about its origin, diversity, and production process; this is the starting point of the tour.
02 Sensory Flower Gardens: A 5,000-square-meter flower garden with artisanal plantings of local varieties, where visitors can stroll among, smell, and touch the flowers.
03 Forest of the Grandfather Trees: An area of centuries-old native trees that invites silence and tranquility, among ancient roots and orchids.
04 Hummingbird Forest: An encounter with up to 16 varieties of hummingbirds that can be observed in half an hour, thanks to their speed and fleeting appearance.
05 Koi Fish: The fish recognize when people are nearby and eat directly from the bottle of whoever is visiting them, an endearing experience to share as a group.
06 Flower Nursery: Shows the complete evolution from seed to flower —propagation, birth, infancy, and nurturing— and connects visitors with the craft behind each garden.
07 Barnyard Birds: An area with peacocks, geese, and ducks, allowing you to experience the colors, sounds, and rhythms of country life up close.

13 Casa Campesina Museum: A collection of antiques, objects, and photographs that complements the tour and showcases rural life in Santa Elena.
