Resplan
Betraktas som "en guds gåva" var kakaoträdet mycket viktigt för den gamla kulturen. Det användes inte bara som en ceremoniell drink, men dess frön användes också som valuta på grund av dess ekonomiska värde, i många regioner i Mesoamerica, inklusive Costa Rica. I detta 2-timmars "hands on" -program får du möjlighet att lära dig intressanta aspekter av kakao och choklad, från dess ursprung och historia, som deltar i hela produktionsprocessen, från att skörda frukten, torka och slipa av fröet, även utvecklandet av våra förfäders traditionella dryck, och naturligtvis njuta av en högkvalitativ organisk choklad.

We had such a fun time during the rainforest chocolate tour! We booked the 3 PM time and were about 10 minutes late because our morning excursion ran long, but it wasn’t an issue to hop in where they were. Our guide, Roberto, was so fun and knowledgeable about all of the different stages of cacao and walked us through the entire process. We got to participate and make and try different stages of chocolate. At the end we tried spoonfuls of melted chocolate with our choice of a huge variety of toppings (try the cloves/nutmeg/cinnamon combo and the turmeric/pepper/salt!). Total time was two hours and absolutely worth the price. It would be a fun tour for people of any age, including children.
Memorable and educational experience for the whole family!
Absolutely brilliant morning learning all about chocolate history, production and sampling it through every stage in the process. Gexel and Patricia were brilliant guides, fun, informative, engaging. We all totally loved it - thank you so much! Would highly recommend!
Keilor was one of the best tour guides we've ever had! He was super friendly and welcoming, and his dry sense of humor had us absolutely cracking up the entire time while still being genuinely interesting and informative. His group-handling skills were excellent and he made everything about the tour and chocolate-making demonstration fun for the kids and adults at the same time. My daughter is very shy, yet he somehow found a way to make her embrace being our "team leader" and even do a "cacao bean crushing dance" in front of a group of 15 strangers! She told us afterward that he reassured her that she didn't have to do it if she didn't want to, and that he would dance alongside her to help with her shyness. I can't recommend this place (and Keilor) enough! Stop reading this review and book this tour!
What a great experience. Our guide was exceptional. we learned a lot about the chocolate making process, and at the end had the change to try many combinations of chocolate. Highly recommend
Fun and informative chocolate tour. Learned the process from the bean to chocolate. Had the opportunity to walk around the “farm”. At the end we all tasted different combinations of flavors with chocolate. I would highly recommend
Such a fun experience! We learned so much about the process to make chocolate, sampled chocolate, and had a blast creating flavors and adding spices. We also saw a sloth and toucans! I would highly recommend this tour.
We had a great tour and our guide - Keilor El Guapo - was amazing. He not only was funny and made the tour fun but he was also extremely knowledgeable . It was a very informative tour and we also got to see some wildlife - Poison Dart Frog, Sloth and other frogs. We saw how the coco was harvested and fermented. Then we actually helped grind some beans so we could make our own chocolate. It was a fantastic tour and I would do it again!
If you enjoyed Freshman year orientation or get excited for the first day of a new job when they ask you to give three facts about yourself, maybe this tour is for you! For my family, it was a $39 (bad) comedy show and humiliation ritual. I thought this was going to be educational, instead I learned nothing and spent the entire show thinking of ways to pretend to be sick so we could leave early. The guide was misogynistic, irritating and frankly, rude! The chocolate tasted good, but the route we took to get to that was painful.
Sorry that wasn't what you expected. Please contact us to our email to learn more what went wrong.
Very educational tour! Delicious chocolate!
