Hacienda Castilla
About This Museum
Hacienda Castilla feels less like a museum and more like stepping directly into the coffee-soaked history of the region. Its story is woven into the very soil, a testament to the families who carved a life and an industry from these lush green hills. You don't just see artifacts behind glass; you wander through time-worn rooms that still echo with the whispers of a bygone era. It’s a deeply personal and atmospheric journey that connects you to the soul of Colombian coffee.
Collection Highlights
The heart of the experience is the original, heavy-beamed beneficio, where antique machinery used for de-pulping and drying coffee beans sits silently, telling a story of manual labor. Personal items from the hacienda's families—a worn leather saddle, sepia-toned photographs, a rustic kitchen hearth—are scattered about, making the past feel immediate and tangible.
Visitor Information
It's best to check their social media for current opening hours as they can be informal. Wear comfortable shoes for walking on uneven paths, and don't rush—the magic here is in soaking up the quiet ambiance.
Architecture & Building
The main structure is classic Colombian hacienda architecture: whitewashed adobe walls under a vast, sloping terracotta tile roof, built around a central courtyard that's perfect for a moment of shade.
