Excursion Mexican hacienda la carambola mango plantation & indian village tour at Topolobampo

Explore Los Mochis, the area north of Topolobampo that is one of the most important farming areas in Mexico, and home to major crops such as sugarcane, cotton, rice, and flowers. Get a taste of the region with a Sinaloa garden walking tour or visit Los Mochis' Regional Museum. Originally founded in 1893 by the American socialist Albert Owen, the city gained recognition in 1901 when businessman Benjamin F. Johnston built his first sugar mill here, which grew to become the largest sugarcane empire on the American continent.

Continuing past lush farmland, arrive at La Carambola Hacienda, home to a mango plantation. Tour the plantation and learn how this sweet, juicy fruit was brought here in the 17th century and later cultivated. After the tour, sample a variety of sweet treats such as mango ice cream, mango candy and mango marmalade and you can try your hand at cooking authentic Mexican staples such as corn tortillas, beans and cheese.
