Itinerary
Your day will start early. The tour guide will pick you at the reception of your hotel. Once ready, both the driver and him will take you outside the city and after a couple of hours away you will get to the El Paraíso Hacienda. In here you will get to stroll around its nature, while the guide explains the environmental importance of the place and then you will be guided to the sugar cane hacienda.
Once you arrive, you will meet the expert guide and you will take a walk around the hacienda with him. Right after, you will head to the sugar cane fields to learn about its growing and harvesting process. Cane is very important in the region because besides it is used as brown sugar, it also helps on some liquor production. While in the tour you will actually have the chance to taste a sugar cane-based traditional drink that can also be fermented. It is basically made using a machine that extracts the liquid out of the plant and it is massively drunk in this area of the country.
Later on, after exploring the farm, you will rest your feet and you will enjoy the best Cauca Valley’s cuisine with a valluno lunch. By this time, the end of the tour is near, and the driver will be ready to take you back to your hotel in Cali.

I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the immersion into Maria's history and the beautiful natural surroundings. It's great to know that the preservation and care of the place were remarkable, and it's a wonderful option for couples and families.
I had a great experience, all the logistics were taken care of, so we are able to just enjoy the tours. The Hacienda is separate from the sugar cane museum and was in Spanish but our tour guide translated the story. My Spanish is not that great.
Hola, Thaddeus! Thank you for leaving this review of a unique experience like the sugar cane. We're happy to know you enjoyed it so much and your guide helped you. Thank you for choosing us!
To be honest we don't really think this trip was worth it. We asked for an English speaking guide, and they sent a Spanish. We then had to spend time finding an English one. When we booked our tour, it was supposed to include a trip to the sugarcane museum as well. It turned out that it didn't include that anymore. The bureau just forgot to change it in the description. But the hacienda was fine, and the guide did a good job. We just didn't get what was described when we booked the trip. The bureau did offer to compensate us with free transport to the airport on the day of our departure, but at that time we had already booked our transport and where being picked up in 30 minutters.
Hola! We're really sorry for the inconvenience caused during the tour. We took action on the matter. Regarding the misunderstanding with the museum, we have made all the changes to our website's description. And we will continue working hard to guarantee that situations like this do not happen again and to offer a high-quality service.
I found this tour kind of boring, The Haciendas and Sugar Cane were not what I expected, it really was just walking and seeing things.
Paul was my guide for the day, and he was amazing. His english is very good, and he was Patient enough to wait for me for filming with my drone. He also translated to me all that the guide said in spanish. I can only recommend to choose this agency if you do any sort of trips!
