Chocolate Tour (2 hours)

After meeting on Calle Vieja, we'll take a guided tour through the cocoa harvest to see the pods where the beans are grown and about the care of this Costa Rican delicacy. You will also see the fermentation and drying process. You will taste some of the chocolate products made on the farm and attend a workshop to make 70% cocoa chocolates.

Chocolate Tour + Las Golondrinas Waterfall (7 hours)

This option follows the same itinerary as the previous one, with two hours of free time for lunch and relaxation.

Finally, you will reach the waterfall standing 82 feet tall (25 meters), where you can swim and jump from the rocks into the water.
