See how cacao pods are turned into real chocolate

Curious how cacao pods become real chocolate? At the organic farm CHOCORART near Playa Chiquita you immerse yourself in lush green surroundings and meet a local family who have been producing chocolate sustainably for generations. The farm is just a few minutes south of Puerto Viejo and shows you how craftsmanship and passion create true moments of indulgence.

The tour starts with a welcome and leads you through the plantation, past luxuriant cacao trees and free-roaming animals. You hear first-hand from the producers all about harvesting, fermentation and drying the beans. Afterwards you grind roasted beans yourself, taste raw drinking chocolate and sample the different stages of cacao. Insights into the production round off the experience – and everywhere you go you can feel the passion for detail.
