A sustainable tourism project located in Sarapiquí, Chilamate.
It focuses not only on cacao production but also on forest conservation and biodiversity. The goal is to share both the chocolate-making process and its connection to nature.
The standard Chocolate Tour lasts about 2 hours.
Visitors explore a cacao plantation within a private forest reserve.
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.

Best Chocolate with the Best People

5.00The highlight of my 3 weeks in Costa Rica, and a must do for anyone who is interested in chocolate, culture, history, conservation, nature, storytelling, or fun. It was a cultural and culinary experience I will never forget. I have met many amazing storytellers in my day, but our guide was one of the best- transporting us through the history and process of preparing chocolate by hand- and trust me, you have never had chocolate this good. A must do for anyone in Costa Rica. Please support this business and the wonderful things they are doing.
A flavorful experience

5.00It was interesting that learn about REAL / PURE chocolate VS what we get as typical consumers in the US. The team there did a great job and are making a positive impact on their community.
A wealth of knowledge and community appreciation. This was not just chocolate education but a well rounded education.
