Rain Forest Chocolate Tour

Give yourself a delicious hands-on experience fixing yourself a uniquely flavored dring in the Rainforest Chocolate Tour! 

The Rainforest Chocolate Tour is one of the most delicious experiences you will have on your trips abroad and in Costa Rica. 

This is a tour that can be enjoyed at any age as it involves minimal walking. 

You will begin the experience when you arrive in the luscious rainforest after a short ride from your hotel. 

This engaging environment will surround you throughout the entire activity, discovering some of the ancient practices and beliefs related to chocolate and the ritual importance for hundreds of years in the ancient Mesoamerican cultures. 

The cocoa tree, endemic to the tropical Americas in the Precolumbian times, was part of the indigenous communities’ cultural and spiritual traditions from México to Perú, using it as well as usual currency. 

Your entertaining tour guide will teach you about the different uses of the cocoa beans, the history of how it became the most popular drink in the colonial days, and the recent years’ many applications. 

Afterward, you will start a short walk in the actual forest to see some of the old cocoa plantations that adapt so well to the darkened rainforest understory. 

Here you may be able to see the ripe fruits and the seeds covered by a sweet pulp. Following, you will see a bit of the small producers’ ancient drying and graining methods.

And right after, you will delight in a fantastic making and tasting session! 

Your tour guides will tell you all the secrets and support you with tools and tips on making delicious, high-quality organic chocolate. 

In conclusion, this is a short and productive tour. Moreover, you will also enjoy the insects, birds, and various plants of La Fortuna Rainforest.

You will have a fun expedition through history, culture and flavor. Join us on the Rainforest Chocolate Tour!
