Cacao Farm Excursion Day Trip from Guayaquil

Meet a guide at your centrally-located Guayaquil hotel for a 10am departure, then travel to the family-owned cacao farm, a 30-acre (12-ha) property with cacao trees, tropical fruits, and rice. Upon arrival, learn how the farmers grow cacao, from sowing the seeds to caring for the cacao trees and harvesting the fruits.

See the fresh fruits of the cacao tree, then follow the fruit through every step of the production process. Toast the cacao seeds, then help to remove their husks, and grind the seeds to create a thick paste; this is the basic ingredient for finished chocolate bars, before milk, sugar, and flavorings are added.

Following your tour of the cacao farm, sit down for a typical farm lunch that’s made with organic ingredients grown onsite. This 4-hour tour concludes with return transfer to your Guayaquil hotel.

Travel to a neighboring cacao farm on this 4-hour tour from Guayaquil. Observe the harvesting of cacao to make a cocoa juice cocktail as your professional guide gives you the history of the business. Walk by crops filled with exotic fruits, bananas, and rice, that will later be used as a fresh lunch.
