The Avocado tour
Every single year, the NFL fans enjoy thousands of tons of avocados from
Mexico at the #SuperBowl.
From where? Michoacan of course! Well known as the best fertile land for avocados among other rich fruit trees, the orchards around Uruapan show avocados trees for miles.
You are welcome to walk in one of the avocado crops to know more about the “Hass” variety to export in the North American market.
Enjoy the experience to pick up your own piece out of the tree and bring it to cook Guacamole. Besides the experience of harvesting avocados, enjoy the lush vegetation as you walk in the National Park in Uruapan, to find a green park with microclimate that has spring water,
waterfalls and fountains.
Since you are coming to the best land for avocado in the world, don´t miss the lunchtime with avocado menu!
