Following this, we’ll embark on a guided exploration of the village, gaining insight into local traditions and environmental initiatives.

We will conclude the day by discovering the cocoa preparation process, from harvesting the pods to crafting our own jícara. The highlight will be tasting the freshly made chocolate!
