Your expert guide will share with you the knowledge of the local indigenous community, which has been cultivating cacao for many generations. The cacao plants are grown in the shade, and their pods display a wide variety of colors. You will have the opportunity to taste the beans both before processing—at which stage they are quite sweet—and after they have been roasted. The Bocas del Toro chocolate tour will walk you through the various stages of cacao processing, including harvesting, fermentation, drying, roasting, grinding, and final preparation. Cacao cultivation presents numerous challenges, including the threat of a lethal fungus capable of decimating the trees. As this is an organic plantation, no chemical pesticides are used.
