Immersive visits to the vanilla plantation
Come and enjoy a unique experience in the heart of Guadeloupe: an immersive visit to our vanilla plantation, following the rhythm of the seasons and ancestral gestures.
Taken by 4x4 to the plot nestled in the forest, you will discover the secrets of a rare and delicate crop. Depending on the time of year, you will be invited to discover the essential stages in the life of vanilla:
Cutting young vines to give them new impetus,
The pollination of fragile flowers, a meticulous gesture passed from hand to hand,
Harvesting the pods at the right time.
Each visit of approximately three hours (allow half a day) is a sensory and human immersion. You will learn to recognize the subtleties of the plant, to listen to the forest that shelters it, and to understand the patient work necessary before a vanilla pod releases its incomparable aroma.
More than an agricultural discovery, it is an encounter with a land, know-how and a passion to share.
Bring walking shoes, water and an umbrella if the weather permits.
