Palma de Cera Ecocultural Centre Tour
Description
At the indicated time, we'll meet at the corner of Carrera 7 and Calle 5, in the centre of Salento. From there we'll walk to the Palma de Cera Ecocultural Centre, and learn all of the secrets of Colombia's national tree!
We'll enter the facilities of this garden centre and begin to reveal all of the stages that the wax palm tree goes through from the time it's a mere seed until it becomes an adult tree.
Afterwards, we'll use a telescope to see a wax palm tree in detail and review the different uses this tree has had since ancient times. Have you ever heard of bahareque? We'll explain how palm trunks are used in this curious construction method.
Continuing our tour, we'll go to a viewpoint where we'll appreciate the importance of the undergrowth for the wax palm tree. Photo opportunity!
After an hour, we'll end the guided tour through the Ecocultural Centre of Palma de Cera, arriving back at the starting point. Finally, we'll say goodbye and give you a ticket to enjoy a delicious lunch in a nearby restaurant.
Lunch
