Live the Coffee Harvest Experience in San Marcos, Honduras 🌳☕

Das Erlebnis

Hello! My name is Professor Orlando, and I am a lifelong coffee producer from Santa Marta, San Marcos de Ocotepeque, in the western region of Honduras. I am in my 70s, calm, respectful, and I enjoy sharing knowledge about coffee cultivation, agriculture, and rural life.
Visitors say I am patient, friendly, and always happy to teach. I speak Spanish and enjoy hosting international volunteers who want to immerse themselves in our community.
