Overview

This experience is a unique opportunity to experience a rural Costa Rican village while participating in a very interesting hands-on activity making Chocolate. Learn about the history of chocolate, try the Cacao fruit, roast the cacao beans, and then roll up your sleeves and get your hands in there to make your very own truffles choosing the toppings that you love most. This is a fun and interactive experience and great for friends, couples and families! The setting is a private family owned plot of land in the rainforest that overlooks the Naranjo River. You will be surrounded by the sounds of nature and can plunge into the cleansing waterfall after enjoying some chocolate! After chocolate making and waterfall splashing, enjoy a home cooked lunch in the home of our friend and neighbor. Learn to make homemade tortillas with Doña Luz! Our hope is that you will feel like you have experienced something truly off the beaten path that is educational, authentic, fun and delicious!!

What to expect

Head out of Manuel Antonio to a remote village just 35 minutes into the mountains. We will visit a private property that is nestled in the rainforest with a stunning view of the Naranjo River rushing below. Tour the garden and learn about the local fruits and spices used by the locals and even try the Cacao fruit in its pure form. Head down to the Rancho to begin an informative and fascinating lesson on the history of chocolate and then roll up your sleeves and make your very own truffles choosing from a variety of toppings to make it special and unique to you! While letting your chocolate set, head down the short trail to the river and plunge into a refreshing waterfall. Swim in the pool or lay on a giant boulder and take in this special place. After the river, we visit our friend Doña Luz for an authentic interactive cooking experience in her cozy home. Learn to make tortillas and get to know Luz and her family.
