Overview

We start at 8:30 am where we will do two different activities in a single day visiting a protected reserve that houses 54 species of mammals in which we highlight the Howler Monkey, 221 species of birds, 8 amphibians and 12 varieties of reptiles. We will walk through an extensive vegetation surrounded by trees representative of the dry forest. We will continue our journey in a cocoa farm. We will learn the production process in the machines and equipment that have been designed and built in the same facilities by the master chocolatiers. First you start with toasting, which together with the fermentation process is crucial for the aromas and flavours of chocolate to develop. This activity is defined as “natural planting chocolate”. It is very important to emphasise that chocolate is made in the same plantation, giving an unparalleled importance to the origin of the product that is elaborated with in the farm.
