Hacienda Venecia is a big-hitting heavyweight in coffee zone tourism. It is included in our portfolio as a destination in its own right.
Imagine if you can a beautiful coffee hacienda set in stunning secluded grounds and plunging hills. Now imagine it is also is the home of a large scale coffee processing facility.
