Perfect family experience!
This was a perfect animal experience for the kiddos of our large family. Began early morning with some education on the history of this family owned farm then some animal encounters and a hike around the property. Breakfast at the end made by family members was very very tasty. Loved that the family members themselves were with us during our time there. Thank you!

Very thorough and patient walk-through and introduction
This was a great experience. We walked through and were introduced to pretty much the whole farm, including the overview and history of this family farm, and saw a variety of different areas including green house plants, fruit trees (banana, guava, etc.) The cow milking part was very interesting and we had the chance to see two calves drinking milk from the cow we milked from. We also saw the cow peeing and pooping A LOT in front of us, all over the ground (a little bit slashed to our pants lol) , which was surprising to see such a huge amount but it was an unforgettable and unique experience that we appreciated. The man who led the tour (we forgot his name) was very friendly and patient in answering our questions and providing context of history and culture which we appreciated a lot. The breakfast at the end was great and cozy (bean rice, a piece of plantain, eggs, a piece of cheese, orange juice and coffee). *(The only thing to keep in mind: if you are booking on Viator, the webpage mentions that pick up in Monteverde area is included. However, this farm does not provide transportation and is unaware of this information posted on Viator until we asked. They are trying to figure this out and get this information down from Viator so if you are booking this from Viator and want to request pick-up, please note that you will need to go there on your own). This was disappointing to us at the beginning before we arrived at the tour but the tour itself is satisfying and worth it so we would still definitely recommend this tour and we hope more people can come and support this family.

Great little tour!
Great little tour. Enjoyed learning about the family history of the farm. Seeing what they produce and the highlight was milking the cow. Anibal is very informative. Price was worth it for the breakfast alone.

Visit here!
Out of an amazing trip, this was a highlight. First, it is a family run farm of three generations. Roy walked us around and we got to see their chickens, coffee plants, plantain and banana trees, fish pond, and sugar cane. Milking the cows was way harder than we thought. We asked Roy what they do with the pails of milk and he said his father in law makes cheese we would get to eat! Then we went to an outdoor kitchen overlooking a pretty part of the property and they made us breakfast on a wood burning stove (which I’m super jealous of). They even had fresh flowers in a vase. The breakfast was from their farm. Coffee with steamed milk and cane sugar, tortilla, rice and beans, eggs, plantains, and cheese. It was absolutely delicious and so incredibly fresh. My husband was raving. We met more members of their family, who were all very nice and welcoming. My one regret is that I don’t speak more Spanish. The amount of time and care they put in for just me and my husband, first thing in the morning, was very nice and the experience was worth much more than we paid. They have a lovely family, home, and farm.

Perfect for all ages
Our group of three adults and three kids enjoyed a beautiful morning visiting the farm. We each milked cows, fed chickens, squeezed and tasted sugar cane juice, nibbled on herbs in the hydroponic garden, and explored the trails through this beautiful farm with our guide, who grew up there. A highlight was hearing from him about the history of the area and of his family and how they've used the land over the years. We finished with a delicious home-cooked snack, including coffee from beans grown on the farm and milk and cheese from the cows we'd milked. The tour was a special treat for the kids, who liked the hands-on activities, playing outdoors, and the two incredible swings. Across the street is a fantastic park maintained by a local family, with rope bridges to climb, a stream, swings, hammocks...

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Milking cows and breakfast at "El Terruño de los Torres": questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Monteverde.
How much does Milking cows and breakfast at "El Terruño de los Torres" cost?
+
Prices start at $25 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Monteverde usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Milking cows and breakfast at "El Terruño de los Torres" take?
+
Plan for about 1.3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Monteverde is not rushed.
Is Milking cows and breakfast at "El Terruño de los Torres" worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Monteverde, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Milking cows and breakfast at "El Terruño de los Torres"?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Milking cows and breakfast at "El Terruño de los Torres" suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Milking cows and breakfast at "El Terruño de los Torres"?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Monteverde can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Monteverde and add a light layer if any part of the 1.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Milking cows and breakfast at "El Terruño de los Torres" start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Monteverde within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Monteverde?
+
On Outty we rank every Monteverde experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Original Canopy Tour Monteverde, Zipline, Monteverde Cloud Forest Guided Tour with Expert Naturalist, Coffee, Chocolate & Sugar Cane Tour (Regular). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Monteverde?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Monteverde?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
