Description

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

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

We will delve into the world of Colombian cocoa, touring the farm where an expert will explain processes such as cultivation, flowering, and harvesting.

Next, we'll visit the wood stove to see the roasting of cocoa beans, where the best seeds are selected. We will observe how the shell is removed, the inside is ground, and the cocoa is extracted to make a chocolate bar. Once cooled, it will be ready to be eaten!

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

As we conclude our day, we'll return to Guatapé, with arrival at your hotel scheduled 4 hours after pick-up.
