By the late 1800’s and early 1900’s, El Salvador was the 4th largest producer of coffee in the world back then. The coffee bonanza resulted in the construction of such arquitectural gems as the Neo Gothic Cathedral of Santa Ana and the National Theater in Santa Ana…..they’re a must see.
So interesting, thanks for the talk with the son at the coffee shop. Love seeing the actual people living on the land, gives us a perspective we usually don't get as tourists.
Wow. El Salvador-a little paradise on EARTH! The people you meet are SO friendly and welcoming! I loved learning about the coffee production process and the owner's support toward their workers despite the pandemic challenges. I hope to visit them one day!!
💕Oh that was fantastic ! My two most magical things in one place......coffee and chirping birds. The garden was a beautiful bonus. OH you guys 💕💕 I don't think I could leave...... definitely would be"camping" in the parking lot for a few days!😍 Oh! Snow... thank you for staying on the beautiful stone head planters for a touch longer.....My gosh they were beautiful 😍❤️❤️ 😍 And the bamboo! Ginormous ! Such an informative video and such a beautiful family for what they do for the community. As always guys, well done 😉 Safe travels 💕💕💕
That guys English is astonishing! "Perfection is the horizon. You're not supposed to reach it. You're supposed to work towards it.". Genius! 👍🏽😉 And of course when it comes to machines, nothing beats German quality. 😁
What a beautiful place! You could see how much they care about it. That young man is so proud of the business. And what a smart businessman! Thanks for taking us along.
I'm not a coffee drinker, but still enjoyed this video.....with all the negativity in the world, it is so refreshing to watch your videos and see the love shared between the locals and yourselves... we really can decide how we live our lives & enjoy the journey despite any circumstances we are in. Thanks for making it easier to do that. :)
Beautiful place and what a wonderful man. So glad he took the time to show and explain everything. I could just smell the coffee. And yes, beautiful flowers! Thanks you two!! Have a great day!!
Thank you so much for this. I love the real glimpse into the lives of people around the world. These are all authentic experiences. I think more authentic than what you see on the travel channel because they mostly go to the big /touristy places. These videos are so personal I feel like we are experiencing it with you. The world needs to see more videos like these. They are non bias, non-partisan , no negativity. Thanks for adding joy to our day.
Very interesting! Many processes for the end results... a cup of coffee. Enjoyed watching it. Owner's son is very compassionate about growing, processing, and making coffee. Very beautiful garden...love flowers!
I'm living vicariously through your adventures. You really ARE living the dream! I really do hope you are enjoying this journey as much as we are. Another great video. Thanks, and I can't wait for Saturday morning!
This was so interesting! I love it when you “interview” people and let them share their passion and introduce us to different facets of their culture! 🤗🤔🥰
Such a wonderful walk through the most lovely gardens and coffee plantation I have ever seen. Even on websites with professional advertising tour guides and photography crews, the sincerity of this family and you and Curt shines through. I just loved it!!
Good job showing some of a complex process and a glimpse of what looks to be a place with something interesting and beautiful to look at in every direction. Great guy with well deserved pride in his family business! Thanks!
What a gorgeous area. That coffee shop! How interesting, learning about the family and coffee machines. Fancy! Sounds like they have a great business plan. Most important part is the people. Beautiful! What a unique place! 💜💮
Nice place. I'm not sure how typical this business and family are in El Salvador, but they are lucky to have what seems their own little paradise. Thanks for sharing the tour.
Absolutely AMAZING gardens!!! Wow!!!! What a treat to find this special place and have such a wonderful tour. I wonder where the owner learned his English? He must have spent some time in the states...thanks so much for sharing! Always look forward to your journey...
What a fascinating and enjoyable video. You guys keep meeting such friendly and interesting people wherever you go. I liked the tour of the coffee plantation and the explanations of how coffee is produced. Have a good week and we'll be looking forward to your next program.
I am learning so much from your wonderful journey, El Salvador is so beautiful and what a special place that coffee shop is! I am so impressed with that tour and the wealth of knowledge that young man possesses! Beautiful people! The kitties would love walks there for sure! 💕🇨🇦
Snow and Curt that was awesome love the part of the video when the family was taking picture's inside the van. Thanks on take the time on making these video's I know it take a lot of time mostly on editing these video's. Snow and Curt Thanks You on letting us travel with both of you. One of our company driver and I was talk about van live and so I direct him to your channel he also like the van live so I wish you get another subscriber.
Thanks for the coffee tour, I recall being in Cuba on a farm tour, and they grinded the beans by hand in a mortar and pestle, made the coffee really strong. But it was sooooo good, well worth the time it took them. Thanks again.
This coffee guy is so passionate and sweet to explain his process and dreams, I would love to work for a man like this, so inspiring. Great video as usual.
What a beautiful location - stunning flowers and landscaping throughout. You could tell this family's business was everything. I enjoyed your vlog from start to finish and learned a more in the process. Thanks again for a terrific video.
I love, love, love you Snow... but please don't put an "X" in Espresso (minute 2:17). 😂 The day looked amazing!! El Salvador has the very best coffee & so hard to get!! I'm so envious!! You have the best content!!
What a great place to visit. Could you have spent more than one night there? I think that I would need more than 1 day to enjoy all that they have to offer.
Suggest you visit the town of Apaneca which If memory serves me correct should be literally minutes away from that coffee shop. Also breakfast at El Jardín de Celeste which is on the same exact road. My wife and I got married there 12 years ago and I can attest it’s such a nice place.
Go Daniel, and very generous with your information. Great to see you were able to keep your employees on. A win win for everyone. Excellent video S&C love the work.
Love the video, I am impressed how well you picked up the tour guides voice as you followed behind. Do you know, or maybe can learn, how to buy coffee directly from the coffee growers down there?
Hi again S&C What an awesome place! Beautiful and the best tour and information ever. A family owned business and they figured out how to keep their coffee business going. Some of the good folks in the world for sure... You two have been drinking some of the best coffees anywhere. Thinking that has to be a journey highlight. Enjoy!
Great video guys! I'm running about three years behind you before I can accomplish this financially. Very much enjoying your adventures and thank you for sharing ! If I can expedite my travels I will totally try to connect with you !
@@SnowAndCurt can't wait til you hit Panama! look up my friends at Dolphin Bay Resort - Amy and Brian in Bocas at Dolphin Bay Hideaway and Mike at Sunsetter - wanting to connect with people on the pacific side as this is my retirement area. We stayed with Amy and Brian and OMG best time! but cheeeeeeeeeeetras! = bug spray!
Wow,and people still complain when the restaurant of the big M tell costumer, please just one refill, not two,and costumers still get mad. Good video amigos enjoy your time👍👍
Anciently, in central and south America, they used cocoa beans as currency because they drank it like coffee, no sweeteners. Have you come across cocoa fields? I'd love to see it.
@@SnowAndCurt I know it must be a hassle to reply to all the comments, but I want to compliment you on doing it. It's smart and makes people feel like they matter, the same way you matter to them in watching your videos. I like to comment because I like you and because I know it helps your channel. A win win. Great job! Pat yourself on the back and feel the love!
There is a small shop here in El Salvador called Belu Cacao, they are a family’s Business dedicated to create chocolate from the seed to your cup (or bar jejejeje) maybe they can give you a tour? There chocolates are delicious!!
I actually enjoy it!! It is getting harder... As we get more comments and internet seems to be getting a little weaker down here. But I will always try!! I love our little community ❤️
El Salvador is really beautiful!! and The people in El Salvador are very friendly and welcoming! Totally the opposite of the U.S. citizens! They U.S. people are very unfriendly and do not talk to people who look different than "White" people! In the old times I only remember Europeans visiting this beautiful country! And they loved it so much!
@@SnowAndCurt You would have love this place. Entre Nubes is nice, but Jardines de Celestes is beautiful, is majestic, amazing, awesome . You have to be there to be able to describe it. Safe travels. Enjoy beautiful El Salvador. Ps. You can reach Nayib Bukele ,The President of El Salvador a Via tweeter and he may respond.🥰

Another beautiful video. So interesting in the coffee plantation. Lovely music with that walk through the garden. A good video to sip coffee too.
Perfect video for coffee sipping! Thanks for "having coffee with us".
I don't even like coffee but this was very interesting. You know it's a true passion for this gentleman, by how he speaks about it.
I love, love, love you Snow... but please don't put an "X" in Espresso (minute 2:17). 😂 The day looked amazing!! El Salvador has the very best coffee & so hard to get!! I'm so envious!! You have the best content!!
Sorry... For sure not coffee experts... And it slipped right in there! But, it after the same..m lol
What a wonderful story of the coffee! I hope the family business is successful.
😊😊😊😊
What a great place to visit. Could you have spent more than one night there? I think that I would need more than 1 day to enjoy all that they have to offer.
They get busy on the weekend, so we would not have wanted to take so much of their parking area then.
Really enjoyed this coffee information. 😊👍
