Pineapple Plantation Tour

Agri Pineapple Tour is a family owned business with more than 1,500 hectares that offers our guests, local as well as foreigners, a unique experience on the production process of the pineapple. The family that owns the farm has more than 50 years of experience on the crop, but it wasn’t until 2003 which with great success they incurred on the idea of sharing the adventure with visitors.

You will be welcome at the Rancho “ Los Laureles”, which offers comfortable and spacious restrooms. In this same stage there is the opportunity to view the growing process of the fruit in all its stages in a specially design demonstrational area. Also you will be able to taste the exquisite sweet MD-2 (Del Monte’s Golden Pineapple) which is a first grade, 100% export quality fruit.  The view spot “El Guacimo”, is our second stage where one can learn about the history of the pineapple while at the same time admire a beautiful humming bird garden right next to the Cimarrones river.

We enter the packing plant, where the pineapple is received from the fields, prepared and packed.

During this tour you will witness all the hard work involved in the process by the packing plant workers; reception, selection, waxing, crown fumigation, packing, palletizing, and freezing.

The Hacienda, besides producing fresh pineapples, also produces dried pineapple to export into foreign markets. In this stage you will learn about the process of dehydration which the pineapple undergoes. The different steps are: reception, then heart extraction, after this comes pealing and slicing, then the distribution of the slices onto the carts, following comes the carts into the ovens for drying and the last step is the packing.
