Rainforest Chocolate Tour is a one day tour visiting a small scale cocoa plantation in middle of a rain forest where you will see the basics of cocoa production in the way local handcrafters do it; from planting to harvesting, drying, fermenting, roasting, grinding and finally compacting pure raw first grade quality “criollo” variety of chocolate, unsweetened and ready to be used in the best cooking recipes.
Besides the cocoa plantation and processing, you will walk through natural history trails, botanical gardens showing some medicinal plants, and visit two ethnographic museums; one of pre-Columbian indigenous use of chocolate and another of Afro Caribbean use of chocolate.
You will be picked up at the pier, transferred in an air conditioned luxurious van to Hone Creek and will arrive to the place in about one hour, spend at least one hour and a half in the chocolate tour –it can be longer if you wish- and after, a visit to the beach next to this property is a good optional activity at no extra charge.
A visit to Cahuita National Park and lunch are optional activities you may enjoy upon request.
What is included:
Ground transportation, guided chocolate tour at Cacao Trails and visit the town of Cahuita.
