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 will explore the sugar cane plantations where panela is extracted, a natural sweetener used in many Colombian desserts and drinks such as aguapanela, guarapo, and chicha.

We will learn about the production process of panela, which involves crushing the canes in mills called trapiches, followed by molding and beating until a solidified block is formed. Farm workers will provide a step-by-step explanation.

After familiarizing ourselves with this ingredient's production, we'll travel to a local nature park for a relaxing hike and some free time for lunch and exploration.

You will be dropped off back at your hotel at 4 pm.
