2.Materuni waterfalls coffee tour & Chemka hot springs Day trip

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 131 reviews · from $95

Start with a hike through Materuni village to a waterfall, then learn to roast and prepare local coffee before driving to Chemka Hot Springs for a swim. Pickup, private groups, and mobile tickets are offered. Owen is named as one possible guide. Plan for a long day, since rough roads and the hike can push the outing beyond the advertised six to nine hours.

“My guide was great! Scenery was magnificent, and the springs are a great refreshing way to refresh after the hike. Its a bumpy ride. But well worth it. The ONLY warning I would give is despite what is listed, this is not a 4-6 hour tour. Its 10-12. I looked at 4-6 hours and told myself "no way" and I was right. So this is your entire day. But well worth it.”
