Overview

Colombia is renowned for its coffee, but not everyone knows that the country is also home to the highest quality emeralds. The purpose of our tour is to enlighten you about this gem and its significance in Colombia. You will discover the difference between a high-quality emerald and a lower-quality one, the extraction process, the art of carving this precious stone, and how to distinguish a fake emerald from a real one.

Our first stop will be Rosario Square, where you'll uncover why people stand there all day – it's the hub of the informal emerald trade! Next, we'll head to a workshop where we have demonstrations of the extraction and carving process of this precious stone. Finally, we'll visit a jewelry store to witness how these exquisite jewels are ultimately sold.

At the end of the tour, we'll explore the Emerald Museum, where you'll enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view of the city. Join us on this journey to delve into the captivating world of Colombian emeralds – Embark on a distinctive journey that goes beyond the well-known facets of Colombia, immersing yourself in the enchanting realm of its finest emeralds
