Tour of Local Markets + Trip to an Indigenous Community

We'll meet at 8 am at Silvia's main park to begin our exploration of the city and its surroundings.

Our first stop will be a farmer's market where we will spend an hour observing local products and the lively atmosphere. Participants will have opportunities to sample treats such as fruit and bread before proceeding to a handicraft market to shop for jewelry, embroidery, hats, and other products.

After shopping, we'll board a minibus to visit an orchard cultivated by the Misak people. There, we will learn about their customs and traditions from local villagers and visit one of their homes to understand the Misak lifestyle.

Next, we will stop at the Casa Payán Cultural Center to discuss the significance of plants in Misak culture and explore their use in medicinal treatments. Participants will have the chance to try a locally-made traditional drink.

We will then head to Belen hill, a lookout point offering panoramic views of Silvia. This tour concludes between 2 and 3 pm back at the starting point.
