Panela Tour

Discover one of the pillars of Colombian gastronomy on our Panela Tour from Manizales. We'll leave the city behind and see the sugar cane plantations as we learn how this natural product is made.

Panela Tour

At 8 am, we'll meet you at your hotel in Manizales and drive to an agricultural farm approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes away.

Upon arrival, we'll tour the sugar cane plantations where panela, a key ingredient in Colombian gastronomy, is made. We'll visit a traditional trapiche, used to produce this natural sweetener.

Panela is used in various Colombian desserts and drinks such as aguapanela, guarapo, and chicha, serving as a sugar substitute. We'll learn about its production, from cultivation to solidifying the sugar cane juice.

After touring the sugar cane plantations, we'll head to a natural area for a relaxing walk. You'll then have free time for lunch and to explore the reserve at your own pace before returning to Manizales.

We'll take you back to your hotel, arriving by 4 pm.

Tour with lunch
