Panela Tour

Would you like to learn how Colombian cuisine is sweetened? If so, you'll love our Panela Tour! We'll set off from Armenia and take a fascinating journey through sugar cane plantations - perfect for anyone with a sweet tooth!

Panela Tour

At 8 am, we'll meet you at your hotel in Armenia and set off on the 1-hour 30-minute drive to an agricultural farm.

When we arrive, we'll explore the sugar cane plantations from which panela is extracted. This product is a natural sweetener used in many typical Colombian desserts and drinks such as aguapanela, guarapo and chicha.

We'll learn about the production process, where canes are crushed in mills called trapiches before being moulded and beaten until a solidified block of panela is obtained. Workers at the farm will explain this process step by step.

After learning about this essential ingredient in Colombian cuisine, we'll travel to a local nature park for a relaxing hike and some free time for lunch and exploration.

You'll be dropped off back at your hotel at 4 pm.

Tour with lunch

When making your booking, you'll have the option to choose a tour that includes lunch. This will feature a traditional dish and a drink.
