Rainforest Chocolate Tour
With the view of the majestic Arenal Volcano, in La Fortuna de San Carlos, enjoy the sweetest experience in the tropical forest, discovering the millenary secrets of chocolate from its discovery and use in the tropical regions of America, to its transformation into the product we know and love today.
Considered “a gift from the Gods”, the cacao tree was of great importance to the culture, not only for the ceremonial use of its drink, but also for its economic value, to the point of its seeds being used as currency in many regions of Mesoamerica, including Costa Rica.
We promote sustainability through: environmental education, protection of our natural resources, support for programs and companies that promote sustainability, promoting a traditional product such as cocoa, rescuing our traditions and supporting small entrepreneurs.
Chocolate Tour
By visiting our plantation, in an activity that lasts 1.5 hour, you will have the opportunity to learn about interesting aspects of cocoa and chocolate, going through its origin and history, emphasizing its value to Costa Rica, from a historical, cultural, and economic perspective. Our visitors actively participate in the entire production process, from working at the plantation, harvesting the fruit, drying, and grinding the seed, making the traditional drink of our ancestors, and of course tasting an organic chocolate of the highest quality, which, combined with various ingredients, generates a festival of flavors.
Designed for all ages.
