The chontaduro is the fruit of an Amazonian palm tree and contains nutritional and aphrodisiac properties. Chontaduro harvest and festivals are the lifeblood of the community and a great experience if you come within season.

Off-season you can participate in chontaduro planting, visit a chontaduro plot, or find out more about the production of this high-quality staple food in the zone.

The best thing about chontaduro is the amazing eating you get to do, it can be served with salt or honey and has a sweet nutty taste like a butternut squash. There are also artisinal wines and flour available year round.
