Options

When booking, you can choose between two different options. Both options start at 9 am and include an English-speaking guide, a cocoa tasting and a chocolate workshop:

Chocolate Tour (2 hours)

After meeting on Calle Vieja, we'll take a guided tour through the cocoa harvest to see the pods where the beans are grown and learn about the care of this Costa Rican delicacy. You'll also see the fermentation and drying process. The tour includes tasting some chocolate products made on the farm, followed by a workshop where you'll make 70% cocoa chocolates.

Chocolate Tour + Las Golondrinas Waterfall (7 hours)

This option follows the same itinerary as the previous one, then includes two hours of free time for lunch and relaxation. Afterward, we'll hike for 20 minutes through dense tropical rainforests to the Las Golondrinas waterfall. Along the path, you will encounter a bridge suspended 36 feet high (11 meters). Finally, we will reach the waterfall standing 82 feet tall (25 meters), where you'll have time to swim and jump from the rocks into the water.
