about this tour
Chocolate & Coffee Experience + Trapiche & Medicinal Plants Garden in Manuel Antonio
We offer a combination of attractions! Firstly, the Chocolate Tour starts with the cultural and biological background of cacao in the world and here in Costa Rica. It further introduces you into the collecting, fermenting, grinding and finally the making of chocolate, the drink of the gods.
Secondly, we talk about coffee and its importance for Costa Rica’s economic and cultural development. We have a showroom with important coffee picking instruments and real producing plants to better explain the process of coffee production. We will show you how to make Café-Chorreado, the real Costarican practice of preparing coffee. We have our own coffee roaster and have created a specialty coffee brand. Bonding Coffee.
Finally, we will look at one of the most important aspects of Costarican culture and tradition, the Trapiche. Here we grind sugar cane to extract the juice and make all types of local and delicious candy (Dulce, Sobado, Espumas and Miel). This is for sure the sweetest tour in the area.
We are in a private jungle-preserve only 15 minutes from Manuel Antonio. The presence of wild animals like sloths, monkeys, birds and frogs is common. Be ready for anything.
We have recently added a medicinal plants garden and of course the Cacao Plantation and Coffee Garden. After these 2 hours experience we take a delicious meal. For tours in the morning the lunch is prepared after the tour and, for PM tours we do it before the experience.
