Description

Good to Know

This is a combination of attractions! Firstly, the Chocolate Tour starts with the cultural and biological background of cacao in the world and here in Costa Rica. It further introduces you into the collecting, fermenting, grinding and finally the making of chocolate, the drink of the gods. Secondly, we talk about coffee and its importance for Costa Rica’s economic and cultural development. We will show you how to make Café-Chorreado, the real Costarican practice of preparing coffee. Finally, we will look at one of the most important aspects of Costarican culture and tradition, the Trapiche. Here we grind sugar cane to extract the juice and make all types of local and delicious candy (Dulce, Sobado, Espumas and Miel). This is for sure the sweetest tour in the area. We are in a private jungle-preserve only 15 minutes from Manuel Antonio. The presence of wild animals like sloths, monkeys, birds and frogs is common. Be ready for anything.

Educational and highly recommended

Brian was amazing! We learned all about cacao and how it’s grown and processed to make nibs which are then used to make chocolate. We got to try out different types of cacao and had coffee and refreshing drinks as well. I highly recommend this tour. Plus, you really don’t need to bring anything at all.

Thank you so much! 😊 We're thrilled you enjoyed learning about cacao and chocolate with Brian. We'll be sure to share your kind words with him. Pura vida!

Hat sich gelohnt.

Wir haben nicht allzuviel Erwartet und wurden definitiv positiv überrascht. Man lernt einiges und kann sagen das auch teils Nieschenwissen dabei war womit wir nicht unbedingt gerechnet haben. Kostenproben gab es natürlich auch , hat uns sehr gefallen.

With Greg, it's 100%

One of the best rides I've ever had in the country! Greg, our Francophone guide, is so passionate! All the explanations of cocoa are top and very well explained. You can also see, vanilla, turmeric, lemongrass .. we enjoy good coffee and also a small drink '' not pricked worms'' with sugar cane. Chocolate with fresh fruit and spices is obviously tasted. We Quebecers loved Greg. I'll see you for another round very soon! Thank you a thousand times .. of the good butter of r...;)
