SITE OVERVIEW
Immerse yourself in the agricultural world of Floreana Island. This tour aims at promoting community tourism for the residents of the islands. Visit their livestock and farms and learn how agricultural products are distributed to the many tour boats in the Galapagos. Observe how farmers plant and harvest products such as cassava, coffee, and vegetables. Watch the process of how locals transform sugar cane into moonshine, and perhaps try a shot or two if you dare!
