In this cocoa tour around San Rafael, we'll discover the process of making one of Colombia's most famous products, from its plantation to the delicious chocolate it becomes.

Description

At the indicated time, we'll meet at Calle 32 in Guatapé to begin this cocoa tour around San Rafael. We will travel to a San Rafael cocoa farm, walking approximately 200 metres (656 feet) to the main house, where we will be welcomed with a refreshing drink.

We will then explore the world of Colombian cocoa, touring the farm where an expert will explain the steps in the process, including cultivation, flowering, and harvesting.

Next, we will visit the wood stove where the cocoa beans are roasted, selecting the best seeds. Following this, we will see how the shell is removed, the inside is ground, and the cocoa is extracted to make a chocolate bar. After cooling, the chocolate will be ready to eat.

After this optional demonstration, we will walk to the river for a chocolate exfoliation ritual. Finally, we'll return to Guatapé, with arrival at your hotel scheduled for 4 hours after pick-up.
