This is a special program that combines hiking in the beautiful mountains of Busan with a unique experience of Korean rice wine, called Makgeolli at an old-style street food stall called Pocha. It's perfect for those who want to explore Busan in a more social and less touristy way.
During the activity, we'll follow the weekend routine of Korean 'Ajussi,' which refers to senior guys in Korea. We'll hike up the highest mountain in Busan, enjoying breathtaking views along the way. Then, we'll visit hidden villages that only locals know about, where we'll get to try authentic Makgeolli made in those villages. It's a great opportunity to engage in casual conversations, share our cultures, and learn about different drinking traditions.
By the end of the activity, you might even make a new friend from Busan! Join us for an immersive experience that lets you truly connect with the local culture and enjoy the natural beauty of Busan.
