Don't miss out on this amazing experience to visit an aloe vera farm in Fuerteventura. You'll explore the wide-ranging terrain, meet donkeys and sheep, and learn how to make your own aloe vera cream to take home!
Tour Details
At the designated time, we'll meet at the entrance to Verdeaurora Bio Farm, a certified organic family-run aloe vera farm on the outskirts of Antigua, where we'll uncover all the secrets of the Canary Islands' most iconic plant.
First, we'll meet the animals that live at Verdeaurora, most of which have been rescued or taken in, and you'll have the opportunity to feed the Majorero donkeys, a native species that forms part of Fuerteventura's cultural heritage.
Next, we'll take a tour among fruit trees and aloe vera. We'll walk through the permaculture garden, exploring the tropical fruit forest, and then stop at the aloe vera plantation, one of the most emblematic plants of the Canary Islands.
Afterwards, you'll learn how to cut and handle an aloe vera leaf, and you'll be able to enjoy a tapa that includes goat cheese, artisan bread, olive oil (Picual and Arbequina varieties, grown on the estate) and a glass of Canarian wine.
After a 1.5-hour tour, we'll conclude the visit.
Tour + Premium Tasting
If you choose this option, instead of a tapa, you'll enjoy a selection of local products including: tomatoes from the island dressed with organic extra virgin olive oil; toast with homemade sun-dried tomato pâté with almonds and basil; artisan goat's cheese; freshly kneaded gofio; artisan bread; olive oil (picual and arbequina); a glass of Canarian wine; and papas arrugadas (wrinkled potatoes) with homemade mojo sauce, made according to a family recipe.
Please note that both the tapas and premium tasting products may vary depending on availability or season.
