San Rafael Cocoa Tour

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 chocolate it becomes.

Description

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

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

Next, we'll visit the wood stove where the cocoa beans are roasted, selecting the best seeds. We will see how to remove the shell, grind the inside, and extract the cocoa to make a chocolate bar. Once cooled, the chocolate will be ready to eat.

After this optional demonstration, we will walk to the river for a chocolate exfoliation ritual, providing a natural experience.

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