Tour Description
The tour will commence at 8:00 a.m. with a pick-up service from hotels in Armenia or central areas of Quindío (excluding mountain municipalities such as Córdoba, Pijao, and Buenavista). From there, we will proceed to one of the most enchanting spots in the Coffee Region: the Parque de los Arrieros, a vibrant setting that celebrates the Colombian muleteer, a pivotal figure who traversed mountains with mules, dreams, and coffee cargo.
Upon arrival, you will receive the Arriero Passport, granting you access to a tour of over six hours filled with humor, theater, music, and tradition. Enjoy an interactive day featuring 13 immersive activities and 8 artistic performances that brilliantly capture the essence of the Colombian countryside with wit and talent.
During each stop, such as the Fonda del Arriero, the Camino Nacional, the Teatro del Pueblo Cuyabro, or the Coliseo del Arriero, you'll dive into everyday scenes where rural humor, ancestral knowledge, and stories from the past become a spectacle. Explore coffee plantations, bamboo groves, and thematic stations that encourage participation, laughter, and learning. Each character will share what it means to be a muleteer in these lands.
Midway through the day, you'll have free time for lunch (not included) at one of the park's restaurants, offering a range of options from bandeja paisas (traditional dishes) to country-flavored specialties.
As the tour concludes, we will return you to your hotel, wrapping up this experience around 6:00 p.m.
