Agro-productive farms
Finca La Amistad
Finca la Amistad is a 95-hectare cocoa plantation in northern Costa Rica. The name “La Amistad” reflects how we feel about the land, people and nature of Costa Rica. Today we operate a sustainable and innovative cocoa farm. About 60 hectares are used for cocoa cultivation and about 10 hectares are used to grow native hardwood trees.
Tour of the cocoa plantation
Experience a unique insight into the world of cocoa on one of Costa Rica’s most sustainable farms. Follow the cocoa production process from the seedbed to the drying of the cocoa bean. Duration: 90 min.
“Chocolate on the plantation” workshop
For several years now, we have been making chocolate by hand using the simplest means. It’s fascinating to see how much work is involved. You will have the opportunity to create your own fresh chocolate here on our farm. Duration: 2.5 hours
From seedbed to chocolate bar
Combine the tour of the plantation with the “chocolate on the plantation” workshop and learn all about chocolate production, from seedling to chocolate bar. You will also have the opportunity to make your own chocolate. Duration: about 3.5 hours
Accommodations
Finca la Amistad Cacao Lodge offers overnight accommodations for up to 20 guests and authentic local cuisine. In late 2020, we added our own boutique chocolate manufacturing facility.
