Pereira & Banana Plantation Tour
Pereira & Banana Plantation Tour
At 8 am we'll pick you up at your hotel in Armenia and drive to Pereira, 28 miles (45 kilometres away).
After an hour's drive, we'll arrive in the vicinity of this town and, before entering, we'll take a tour of its pineapple plantations to learn about the fruit tradition of this town in the area of Risaralda.
Afterwards, we'll stop for a tasting of arepas de choclo, delicious corn tortillas that are usually accompanied by a special sauce.
We will then head to the city centre of Pereira, where we'll see places as the César Gaviria viaduct, the Simón Bolívar Square and the Cathedral of Nuestra Señora de la Pobreza. We'll also learn interesting facts about Pereira, such as the origin of its name.
The next stop will be a banana farm, where we'll discover the process of cultivation of Colombian bananas, from planting to harvesting. Did you know that Colombia is the fifth largest exporter of bananas in the world?
Finally, after the visit to the banana farm, we'll return to Armenia. We'll drop you off at your hotel at 3 pm
