Designed for those wishing to discover the authentic treasures of Manzanillo, this tour will take you into the agricultural hinterland. Bananas, papaya, yacas, watermelon, mangoes, and star fruit are all grown here.
Travel north by air-conditioned motorcoach with views of Manzanillo and Santiago Bays. You'll pause at the El Mirador viewpoint for a photo opportunity.
Visit El Vivero — a popular nursery that grows colorful and exotic flowers, lush green palm trees and ornamental plants. Learn all about the plants, trees and flowers from this prolific region.
Afterward, head to Rancho Peña Blanca for a taste of local fruit, refreshments and a light snack. Students from the nearby school perform charming folkloric dances. You'll have time to stretch your legs and enjoy the surrounding flora and bird life.
Make the most of a quick shopping stop for souvenirs at the Miramar Beach handicrafts market en route back to the ship.
