You know they mean business when a place is called ‘The Museum of Coffee’. Museo Del Café is no ordinary café. Instead, it is an attempt to educate people about coffee and offers the perfect introduction to Peruvian coffee. The museum has a number of exhibits and installations that explain the entire process of coffee production. Every single step along the way—growing and harvesting coffee beans, producing coffee, exporting it—is explained simply and succinctly. There is information on exactly how ripe a coffee bean should be before it is harvested. There is also an entire section dedicated to the ways in which colonisation changed the coffee business forever. Dozens of infographics make this a fun learning experience, which is educational but interactive as well.

We are sure you will have a newfound respect for coffee once you’ve learned so much about it. This is the perfect time to visit their café and have one of the preparations on the menu. Their colourful and vibrant preparations are delicious and also make for excellent photographs.
