The Northern Axis: Coffee & Tobacco Expedition

November 24–29, 2026

Strictly Limited to 14 Guests

Explore the Journey

This is a private, insider expedition into the beating heart of Nicaraguan craftsmanship, designed exclusively for those who want to experience the raw, unfiltered stories behind the world's finest pleasures.

Led personally by founder Lali Kapi, this focused 6-day journey takes you deep into the mountains of Matagalpa and the volcanic valley of Estelí. This is not a tourist sightseeing trip—it is a curated, boots-on-the-ground immersion with direct access to private estates, production floors, and master artisans closed to the general public.
