Finca Dracula is an orchid farm, located at only 5 minutes of the suburb of Guadalupe, Cerro Punta. After the gate, the path through the finca moves along a zone of woodlands. The finca's name is all to do with the Dracula Orchid - there are 124 species of Draculas growing in the finca's greenhouses. They only wake up in the night lifting up a blossom with a ghoulishly vampiric face. Different faces, different colors, but none raise their heads during daylight hours.
Started as a hobby in 1969 by owner Andrew Maduro, the finca covers 22 acres. Formerly a cattle pastures with a main house built in the 1920s by Swiss-German immigrants, it now produces over 2,200 types of orchids from all over the world. It is both, a safe haven for endangered varieties as well as a business. And not just within Panama - over 25% of the plants get exported overseas. Some rarities can fetch more than $5,000 apiece. If you are fascinated by orchids, the best time to go is between March and April, when the majority are in bloom.
The tour continues to the Jansen Coffee Plantation where your guide will explain you how they process roast and package the coffee beans. Of course you will have a coffee cupping session at the end of the tour to try this Panama gourmet coffee.
