Among cornfields and a great history, you are welcomed with seasonal fruits of the region to taste. From the moment you arrive at the park, you are part of an experience where, not only do they tell the story of vanilla, but they make you part of it.

Vanilla Industrialization

The third and last stop of the first day is between Papantla and Poza Rica, in a family vanilla farm where the whole family is dedicated to a part of the industrialization of vanilla. Here you can also taste fruits and visit a more industrialized and systematic vanilla farm. You will learn about artificial pollination and the process from planting and extraction to the final production of perfumes, extracts, flavoring, all of the vanilla farm’s own brand that you can buy at the end of the tour.
