Located on the Caribbean coast of Bocas del Toro, the trip takes only 45 minutes from Bocas Town: 30 minutes by taxi boat to Almirante and 15 minutes by car or minibus to Rio Oeste. Enjoy this journey through history, culture, traditions and flavor, about cocoa, considered as “a gift from the Gods”. When visiting the plantation, we can participate actively in the whole production process from the harvesting of the fruit, the drying, the grinding of the seed and mixing patiently. 

The tour begins with a pleasant walk in the forest to see the cocoa trees and which leads to the mountain farm where local women, dressed in traditional Ngäbe clothes, teach how to make chocolate under a typical thatched roof. Then a tasting of the different products such as dark chocolate, roasted cocoa and 100% pure chocolate, all strictly based on natural cocoa that, unlike commercial cocoa, has many benefits for human health and that indigenous cultures have discovered thousands of years ago. A traditional Ngäbe meal of free-range chicken accompanied by delicious vegetables and tubers grown on the farm is included to taste real organic food. At the end of the tour, back to Almirante, boarding on a taxi boat for a 30-minute journey across the bay.
