Aloe & Olivo Premium Experience — Hands-on aloe, artisan tasting and finca life above Antigua

Aloe & Olivo Premium Experience — Hands-on aloe, artisan tasting and finca life above Antigua.
Set on a working, certified organic finca in the protected bird area around Antigua, this experience threads permaculture beds, olive groves and rescued animals into a single hands-on visit. Guests move from the plantings to the terrace with volcanic views, learn how aloe is harvested and processed, and sample island flavors prepared from local, ecological ingredients.

Outing Highlights
An authentic ecological finca in a protected landscape
The visit takes place on a 100% ecological family finca located in a Zona de Especial Protección para las Aves, where permaculture beds, olive trees and open terraces frame views of the island’s volcanic silhouette.
A premium degustation of local, handcrafted products
The Aloe & Olivo Premium option includes a full tasting of island products made with ecological ingredients and traditional recipes: seasoned island tomatoes with organic olive oil, artisan goat cheese, gofio, house breads, two olive-oil varieties, a Canary wine and papas arrugadas with family mojo.
Workshops, rescued animals and a take-home aloe
Beyond the tour, you’ll extract and learn to treat aloe pulp in a craft workshop, meet rescued animals such as the burro majorero, and leave with your own aloe plant or a product from the finca’s ecological shop.
