Become immersed in the delicious aroma of chocolate while you learn about the properties and care of Costa Rican cocoa on this tour in Guápiles.
Options
When booking, you can choose between two different options. Both options start at 9 am and include an English-speaking guide, a cocoa tasting and a chocolate workshop:
Chocolate Tour (2 hours)
After meeting on Calle Vieja, we'll take a guided tour through the cocoa harvest to see the pods where the beans are grown and tell you all about the care of this Costa Rican delicacy.
You'll also see the fermentation and drying process. Of course, we won't leave without tasting some of the chocolate products made on the farm. And for the icing on the cake, you'll attend a workshop where you'll make 70% cocoa chocolates, an experience you'll never forget!
Chocolate Tour + Las Golondrinas Waterfall (7 hours)
With this option, you'll follow the same itinerary as the previous one, followed by two hours of free time to have lunch and relax. Then, we'll embark on a 20-minute hike through dense tropical rainforests to the beautiful Las Golondrinas waterfall.
As we make our way along the path, we'll come across a bridge suspended 36 feet high (11 meters) - don't look down! Finally, we'll arrive at the famous waterfall standing 82 feet tall (25 meters), where you'll have time to swim and jump from the rocks into the water. A well-deserved break at the end of the hike!
