Marsella Day Trip

At 7 am, we will pick you up from your hotel in Armenia and drive to Marsella, originally called "Villa Rica de Segovia".

En route, we will see the vast coffee plantations of the Cauca River valley. Upon arrival in Marsella, we will visit an agricultural farm and enjoy a local snack of patacones con hogao, made from the farm's produce.

Following this, we will tour the cacao plantations and fruit trees, with potential tastings of ripe fruit. We will also participate in an organic chocolate making workshop, where you will extract, roast, and grind cocoa beans.

After the workshop, we will create a delicious cocoa drink to accompany our traditional lunch of sancocho, prepared with chicken and vegetables from the farm's garden.

We will then drive to the village and stop in the main square for a cup of Colombian coffee. We will stroll around Marsella to see sights like the Mary Immaculate Church and the House of Culture, featuring a National Heritage museum.

Finally, we will visit the Botanical Garden and José María Cemetery before returning to your hotel in Armenia, with drop-off at 4:30 pm.
