Welcome t0 Finca Hotel El Carmen Del Pinar, a traditional coffee plantation located in the Quindio Coffee Triangle.

A Brief History

The Finca El Carmen Del Pinar has been in the Quintero Family for just under 90 years. Manuel Quintero and his young bride, Maria, moved to the new up and coming town called Armenia to start their life together. He acquired land by using his accounting skills to help local land owners. He would often accept land instead of payment and he then used this land to start his coffee plantation. Throughout the following decades, his coffee business grew and prospered. Although coffee was once the main source of income for the finca, it is no longer profitable. The plantain production is plentiful and macadamia nuts are grown and processed on the premises. In the mid 1980's Sergio Quintero converted the house into an "ecohotel" just as tourism was starting to grow in the Coffee Triangle region. Ofelia Quintero Vanegas is now the main owner along with her children Jim, John, Maria and Monica.
