Panela Tour
Panela Tour
At 8 am, we'll meet you at your hotel in Manizales and drive to an agricultural farm around 1 hour 30 minutes away.
When we arrive, we'll take a tour of the sugar cane plantations from which panela, one of the key ingredients in Colombian gastronomy, is extracted. We'll also be able to visit a trapiche, which is a traditional mill still used to produce this natural sweetener.
Panela is found in plenty of Colombian desserts and drinks, such as aguapanela, guarapo and chicha, as a substitute for sugar. We'll learn about how panela is produced, from its cultivation to the process of solidifying the sugar cane juice.
Once we've finished touring the sugar cane plantations, we'll head to a natural area where we'll relax with a pleasant walk. Afterwards, you'll have some free time to eat lunch and explore the reserve at your leisure before returning to Manizales.
We'll then take you back to your hotel, where we should arrive at 4 pm.
