WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Marinilla
Exotic Fruit Tasting Colombia is the most diverse country in the world in fruit production, as we grow over 430 fruits throughout our territory. This is why we think we should take you to a fruit stand to try some of them. In this short stop we provide you different exotic fruits you probably didn’t even know existed, with intense sour or sweet flavors. How many of these exotic fruits have you tried? Wait no more and try them with us, you never know if you will have another chance in the future. After delighting the palate with these exotic fruits we are ready to head to our second stop: the avocado farm.
2. Penol
Avocado Farm Tour From the fruit market we continue our journey for around 50 minutes as you see amazing views through the window. Once we get to the farm, our hosts, a beautiful couple greets you warmly with a delicious avocado dessert, where you discover new tastes and uses to this fruit. And then we start the educational tour learning first about what is needed to grow an avocado tree and actually doing it in a germinator where you learn the time line from planting to seed to harvesting. After planting your own seed we continue learning about the required conditions to grow avocado (elevation, seasons, ph of the soil and more) as well as the threats like plagues and diseases. And then we start a hands-on activity where our host teaches you how to make a delicious avocado jelly that you can use in multiple food preparations with all the benefits of the avocado. Avocado Plantation Then in the plantation we look for an avocado ready to be picked following our host instructions.
3. El Penol
Avocado Farm Tour (2nd part) Our last activity in the field is planting an avocado tree. So first, you need to mark and clean the area, then dig a hole to insert a baby plant and hopefully you will have an avocado tree that you are more than welcome to visit in the future Lastly, to reward your effort of planting a tree our host gives you a cold and refreshing avocado lemonade. Also you have the opportunity to buy some avocado subproducts that they produce like oil for the skin care or seed powder. There are also cute socks, pijamas and more avocado related products available. We are ready now to say goodbye to the avocado farmers and head to the next stop, the imponent rock of Guatape.
4. El Penol
Climbing Up The Guatape Rock At this massive rock you get the chance to climb up it. It’s 749 steps and 50 minutes approximately to go up and down. Once you reach the top, you can stay up there for as long as you wish as you witness one of the most beautiful views you have ever seen. This is not only our opinion but that of hundreds of tourists we have taken there. However, our Guatape and Avocado Farm Tour still has more to offer. Our next destination is Guatape, one of the most colorful and picturesque towns in Colombia.
5. Guatape
Guatape Town The City of Zocalos At this town we take a fully narrated walking tour through the town’s landmarks: church, main square, remembrance street, Zocalos Square and more. If you like shopping this is a good place to do it since there are a lot of hand crafted souvenirs and all kind of items to bring back home. After we finish our visit in this beautiful Guatape town we head back in our comfortable private car. This is a tour full of good memories and new knowledge about avocados and the culture of this region that will leave you very satisfied.
