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.

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

We will learn about the panela production process, involving the crushing of the canes in mills known as trapiches before being moulded into solid blocks. Farm workers will explain this process step by step.

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

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