The Chocolate Tour begins by taking you across TRC’s popular suspension bridge to a former cacao-tree (Theobroma cacao) plantation. During the walk, you will be exposed to the natural and cultural history of the cacao tree and, upon reaching the plantation, a TRC guide will reveal the secrets of transforming cacao fruit into chocolate. You’ll see the chocolate-making process first-hand and even have the opportunity to treat your taste buds to organic rainforest chocolate! After the tour, you can visit the TRC gift shop to purchase some chocolate bars made from organic cacao by the Caribbean Association of Amazilia Women (Asociacion de Mujeres Amazilia del Caribe), a group of local women from the town of Pueblo Nuevo de Guacimo.
Include: Transportation, entrance fee, bilingual guide (English/Spanish) and lunch.
