Most of us love avocado but have you ever wondered how long does it take to grow a tree?

Or have you ever planted an avocado tree or harvested one fruit with your hands?

Guatape and Avocado Farm Tour Itinerary

All our tours are private and include pickup and drop off.

So we start from your place at the time that is more convenient for you.

Then, we head east of Antioquia to start with our first stop.

Avocado Farm Tour

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.

Our last activity in the field is planting an avocado tree.

So first, you need to mark and clean the area and then dig a hole to insert a baby plant and hopefully you will have an avocado tree that you are 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. 

After refreshing and saying goodbye to the avocado farmers we head to the next stop, the imponent rock of Guatape.

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.

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.

We also have a Guatape Tour with coffee farm or with more combinations available in our website.
