Overview

This tour is more special than the others because the farmer you will visit is a confirmed agronomic engineer that spent all his life studying fruits and has perfected his cocoa by modifying the genes of his fruits in order to combine the flavor of the Chuncho and increasing the size of it. He is also one of the only farmers to do all the processes himself and selling his own chocolate past.

During the tour, you will discover a Peruvian province (La Convencion) in the mountainous jungle that tourists rarely visit.

Afterwards, you will learn and experience for yourself the different steps of making a product that you frequently consume: chocolate.

As a family, couple or small group, accompanied by the farmers, participate in all the traditional stages of cocoa production, from picking to tasting.
