Set on Verdeaurora Bio Farm in Antigua, this short, sensory workshop brings you into the rhythms of a self‑sufficient permaculture site in Fuerteventura: you learn to cut and handle fresh Aloe Vera, tour the garden and solar installations, and taste products made on and around the finca.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

SUSTAINABILITY

A working, self‑sufficient finca

The activity frames food and plant knowledge inside Verdeaurora’s commitment to permaculture, solar energy and bioconstruction — an experience rooted in sustainable practice rather than a simple tasting.

THE ALOE

Direct, hands‑on plant work

You don’t study Aloe Vera from a shelf: you approach the plant, learn how to cut a leaf and, if you wish, feel the fresh pulp to understand its texture and uses.

LOCAL FLAVORS

An authentic Canarian degustation

The tasting pairs artisanal Fuerteventura goat cheese, house olive oils and local wine with bread — a concise menu that ties flavor to place and traditional production.

What the day feels like

What the 45 minutes feel like

The session moves briskly: a warm welcome at the finca, a short talk on the ecological project, a walk through permaculture beds and solar installations, close inspection of Aloe Vera plants, a hands‑on cutting exercise in shade, and a sit‑down degustation of island products — all designed as a concentrated, educational encounter with farm life.
