El Salvador Travel 🇸🇻 | Coffee Tour at El Carmen Estate

Описание: El Carmen Estate, also known as El Carmen Estate Hotel & Coffee Resort, is a historic coffee plantation located just outside Concepción de Ataco along El Salvador’s renowned Ruta de las Flores, where coffee production, rural hospitality, and cultural heritage come together. The estate has been owned by the same family for generations and is an important local hub not only for its own coffee but also for nearby small farmers, whose coffee cherries are processed at the estate’s mill alongside those grown on the finca. El Carmen works primarily with Arabica varietals that define Salvadoran coffee, including Bourbon, Pacas, and Pacamara—varieties for which the country is internationally respected—along with smaller plantings of Typica, Caturra, and limited specialty lots such as SL28 or Geisha. Visitors can learn about the full coffee process, from selective hand-harvesting and sorting of ripe cherries, through pulping, fermentation, washing, and drying, to hulling and final grading. During drying, beans are carefully raked to ensure even moisture loss, prevent mold and overheating, and protect flavor quality before the coffee is prepared for storage or export. Beyond coffee, the estate offers rustic accommodations in restored historic buildings like La Casona, surrounded by gardens and cool mountain air, along with simple local dining that highlights estate-grown coffee. Just minutes away, the town of Ataco adds cafés, artisan shops, and cultural life, making El Carmen Estate an appealing destination for travelers seeking an authentic, tranquil experience rooted in El Salvador’s coffee tradition rather than a conventional luxury resort.
