SARAPIQUÍ · CACAO & CULTURE

Cacao & Chocolate Experience

Follow cacao from the tropical tree to the finished chocolate while learning about cultivation, fermentation, drying, roasting and traditional preparation.

From cacao pod to chocolate

Discover the stages that transform tropical cacao into chocolate. A guided experience can cover the cacao tree and fruit, fermentation and drying, roasting, cracking or grinding, and the preparation and tasting of chocolate.

Taste, learn and participate

See cacao up close, learn why fermentation and roasting matter, handle beans or nibs during the process and taste chocolate at different stages. The experience connects agriculture, history and one of Costa Rica’s most distinctive tropical crops.
