Description

At the indicated time, we'll meet at Calle 32 in Guatapé to begin this cocoa tour around San Rafael, where you'll discover the secrets of one of Colombia's star products.

We'll travel to a San Rafael cocoa farm and walk about 200 metres (656 feet) to the main house, where we'll be welcomed with a refreshing drink.

We'll delve into the world of Colombian cocoa, touring the farm where an expert will explain steps like cultivation, flowering, and harvesting.

Next, we'll visit the wood stove for roasting cocoa beans and selecting the best seeds. We will then see how to remove the shell, grind the inside, and extract the cocoa for making a chocolate bar, which will be ready to eat after cooling.

After this optional demonstration, we'll walk to the river for a chocolate exfoliation ritual.

We will conclude our day and return to Guatapé, with arrival at your hotel scheduled 4 hours after pick-up.
