Aloe Vera Workshop

Find out about the fascinating uses of aloe vera and make your own organic face mask.

With anaesthetic, antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties, it’s no wonder the locals like to grow this super plant in their garden – always on hand whenever they have an ailment.

Wander through the aloe fields in the village of Tiscamanita and see how the jelly-like substance is grown and harvested in the arid landscape.

In the workshop, roll up your sleeves and get messy with fresh aloe vera, citrus fruit and avocado to create an all-natural face mask. Your host will help you blend the ingredients and you’ll take the finished product away as the perfect souvenir.

If that sounds like thirsty work, try a thirst-quenching juice cocktail containing aloe – which also helps healthy digestion – before heading back to your ship. And when you reach your cabin, why not pamper yourself with a facial?
