The tour explains the entire process: from the cacao tree, flowers, and pollination, to harvesting, fermentation, drying, grinding, and finally producing chocolate.
Guests can taste different stages: the fresh cacao fruit, cacao at various processing steps, and even enjoy traditional hot chocolate.

5.00Our passionate, well-educated and funny guide, Heiner, has managed to captivate us 100% on both the chocolate tour and the night walk. Clear information with knowledge and a heart for nature and culture, he has shown dozens of animals, which we could never have found without a guide. Highly recommended.

5.00Adrián, our tour guide, was really a winner. He took his time and told everything very clearly. The nice thing is that it is also interactive, and that you also make chocolate yourself. The kids love it too!

5.00A lovely guide who can explain the chocolate making process in a funny way. We also had to try things, like grinning the chocolate beans, tasting it,... He also makes a link with ecology and conserving nature what is very inspiring.
