Santander is the department with the biggest cacao production in Colombia. The region of San Vicente de Chucurí is the main cacao region in Santander and well known for the high quality of the cacao. The reason we selected the region is because there is cacao everywhere and you already drive through large cacao forests and past the beautiful Topocoro Lake on the way to the town of San Vicente de Chucurí.
Arriving on the cacao farm you will meet the owning family that welcomes you with a home-made hot chocolate. They will explain you the importance of the cacao in the region. The tour will continue in a cacao tree forest on the farm, so you can learn about the agronomic management. After the walk you will learn about all the steps of the cacao production from the harvest to the finished chocolate. At the end of the tour you will receive a short presentation of the finished products that can be made from cacao and you will have time to enjoy the quiet atmosphere at the farm.
