We started our morning by visiting CFAT – an agricultural school the government has developed for local farmers to attend cost free. They grow olives and different varieties of fruit at CFAT. The students learned how to properly grow, maintain, and harvest their crops. They also get to keep the profit they make from the produce sold while attending this two-year program. After touring CFAT’s facilities and looking at some of their different produce in the fields, we headed to our next stop. We visited another Pisco distillery. This distillery was a little different then some of the other ones we have visited because they also make macerado, which is a liquor that is made with different types of fruit. We got to sample a cherry macerado and an apricot macerado.
We then had some free time to go shopping at the local markets in Tacna. We were able to pick up our last souvenirs for our friends and family back home. We then ate lunch at a local restaurant with Tacna Rotary club. We then had the rest of the afternoon and evening free to pack our bags and spend time with our host families.
