Itinerary
Begin your tour with a pickup from your central Guayaquil hotel at approximately 10am. From there, you will be transferred to the farm that is via Naranjal. It is a family farm of 12 hectares dedicated for generations to farming products such as cocoa, rice, and tropical fruits. Upon your arrival, you will have the opportunity to learn more about the process of planting cocoa, as it is sown. Learn about its growth and the several processes that turn it into chocolate. Embrace the direct interaction with nature, as you handle the fruit obtained from the cacao tree. Perform the process of making cocoa pasta, which consists of toasting, husking, and grinding the seeds obtained from cocoa to create the chocolate pasta. As you do these tasks, make sure to observe the wildlife around you. Next, break for a typical lunch, prepared with organic ingredients that are grown on the farm. Come the end of the day, you will be transferred back to your original hotel.

Nice guide, delicious lunch, great experience for kids. The farm that shows the chocolate forming process was really worth to visit.
We had a lovely day traveling approximately 45 minutes outside Guayaquil to Cacao Mango plantation. We learned all about making chocolate, from growing the cacao fruit to preparing and consuming a tea and chocolate bar. We were also treated to a delicious cooked lunch prepared at the farm. Our guide Jefferson was kind enough to accommodate our last minute reservation and treated us to a coconut drink on our return. Our hosts' spoken English was very good and they were clearly passionate about their work.
Dear customer thanks so much for giving this review we are so happy in taking booking in last minute, that is not an inconvenience to take the best experience in any activity
