We've taken many tours around the world, and this was truly one of the best! It felt like an authentic experience rather than a typical tourist attraction. The family on the farm was incredibly kind and welcoming—we felt like we were visiting close relatives. We learned so much about the chocolate-making process and loved sampling the delicious treats along the way. The farm itself sits atop a mountain with beautiful views, making the experience even more special. Our guide, Yuly, had such a wonderful personality, making the tour both comfortable and enjoyable. I highly recommend it!

Tasting cocoa at every stage of its transformation—from raw beans to fermented, and finally to baked—was a truly fascinating journey for the senses. We even had the chance to create our very own chocolate, customizing it with an array of extra spices and ingredients to suit our tastes.
Adding to the charm, there was an option to purchase some of the exquisite chocolates crafted by the family on the farm—each bite reflecting their passion and expertise. The atmosphere was warm and homey, with the comforting aroma of coffee in the air and the delightful sounds of birds chirping nearby as we relaxed on the veranda. It was an unforgettable experience that blended learning, creativity, and the simple joys of nature.
