Description
At the scheduled time, we'll collect you from your hotel in Santo Domingo to begin this day of discovering 2 of the star products of the Dominican Republic: chocolate and coffee. We'll travel by minibus to an estate where we'll participate in workshops.
We'll enjoy a small hiking tour, see traditional crops, and follow a cocoa grain from its harvest to chocolate. You'll learn to make cocoa on a bonfire and prepare chocolate and artisan casabe de yuca. Information about these products will be shared.
The next part of the tour will take place at a cenote, where you'll have an opportunity to swim in clear waters. Afterwards, we'll have a typical lunch in the area.
After eating, we'll return to the minibus and begin our return journey to Santo Domingo, arriving after approximately 7 hours.
