From cacao pod to chocolate bar

On a chocolate tour you'll follow cacao through its whole journey — seeing how it grows, roasting and grinding the beans, and tasting the results along the way. It's interactive, tasty, and genuinely educational, which makes it a standout for families, couples, and groups looking for something different from the usual beach-and-hike itinerary. Everyone leaves with a new appreciation for Costa Rican chocolate (and usually a little on their hands).
