Being in Colombia a few times already, we knew it was time to venture out past the city and see more of all that this beautiful country has to offer. We had no expectations going on this trip; however we were thoroughly surprised by the adventure offered and memories made with our family. I researched and found multiple tours offering cacao farming however this one was priced most reasonable and seemed the closest to where we were staying at in el poblado.
Andres, our tour guide was honest at the very beginning and said he loved to do tours “off the beaten path” that is to say we were going to be able to get fully immersed in the understanding of how cacao is grown and harvested to support a local farmer and his family. Any question we had was fully answered by him and he made the trip fun and enjoyable.
As much as I would like to give away other details as to what you can expect on this trip, I’ll leave it up to you to just book it and see for your own how enjoyable it is as my words here wouldn’t do it justice! I would definitely recommend this tour for anyone, particularly those who love chocolate and want to value the work and time it takes to make it.
