This is a typical family farm located on the outskirts of the city of Guayaquil, just 50 kilometers away, surrounded by plantations of various fruits, including oranges, bananas, star fruit, macadamia trees, lemons, and various other fruit trees, in addition to the most important fruit, which is cacao. Most of these products will be the ingredients for your lunch, and most of them are organic products harvested on the farm itself. You can taste seasonal fruits during your tour.

Become a master chocolatier for a day.

You will also give free rein to your creativity by making your own artisan chocolates with ingredients from the farm.

Interesting but not as expected

We did not go to the farm expected/advertised. We went to a small farm with limited amenities. We did not get to experience full chocolate making finished. We then drove to a town for lunch - not farm to table meal from the farm! The guide was very nice but seemed to take us to a different location than expected. Rough - not at all structured - seemed to be trying to develop a new tour attraction.

Dear Passenger Thank you for sharing your comments. We sincerely regret that the experience did not meet your expectations or what was advertised. Our intention is always to offer authentic and well organized experiences. We take very seriously what you mention about the farm visited, the lack of full demonstration of the chocolate making process and the food that did not reflect the farm to table concept. We also appreciate that you highlighted the attitude of the guide. We will review this case with our local team and suppliers to understand what happened and prevent it from happening again. This feedback is very valuable to us as we are committed to continually improving our services. We apologize for any inconvenience caused and remain at your disposal if you would like to discuss this further or if there is anything we can do to make up for this experience.

Wonderful authentic cocoa farm experience

We were on a short layover in Guayaquil on the way home from the Galapagos islands. We were fortunate to find this wonderful day tour, which exceeded our expectations in every way. Our guide, Francisco Did a great job of pointing out highlights along the drive and the Cocoa farm was really interesting. The Cumanda family that owns and operates the farm were so welcoming and friendly. We got to see and participate in the process of making chocolate bars and gained a new appreciation for all the work involved. Alexandra prepared a wonderful truly “farm to table” lunch. I highly recommend this tour and ask for Francisco to be your guide!

Operator response

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We are glad to hear that your stopover in Guayaquil turned out to be such a special day. We are proud that the excursion exceeded your expectations and that both Francisco and the Cumanda family made it a memorable day. The cocoa process and Alexandra's hospitality are, without a doubt, unique moments that we love to offer. Thank you for recommending us and for highlighting the work of our team, it will be a pleasure to welcome you again in the future!

10/10 experience!

Such a wonderful experience with very fun, welcoming, helpful people! We were able to see, learn about, and experience lots of unique plants and animals, including making chocolate from scratch. This is the type of experience you can only have in Ecuador and I’m glad I went for it. I appreciate how communicative and flexible the tour guide was - we felt informed, safe, and comfortable at every turn. If I ever come back, I’d want to do another tour!

Operator response

Excellent!

Great experience. Visited a farm with lovely people who were really happy to share and show us around. We processed some cocoa beans. Then, a very tasty lunch at a restaurant in the town nearby. The guide was most gracious and very knowledgeable. Highly recommended! Great way to spend a day and explore.

Operator response

Trip to Cacao Plantation

Excellent experience, well organized and with an outstanding guide Jaime! The tour was educational but a suitable dose for young children and tween/teens. The meal served was very good.

Operator response

Dear Ravi, We're delighted you had a great time with Jaime as your guide and enjoyed the tour. We're glad the meal met your expectations. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!

Suck it

We booked. Missed flight. Tried to move booking. We’re told no. You stole our money. Thanks for being so flexible.

Operator response

James, We have the records that we tried to move the dates of your tour as much as we could but due to your availability it could not be done. The time you reported the change was not enough to give you a refund and you also insulted my staff saying "You can stick your beans up your ass you greedy fuc*&^" We have everything from messages you sent us. People like you don't do tourism any good. Please don't contact us ever again. In any case, you wish you had a nice experience in Ecuador.
