The youngest will be left speechless when they better remember what they had and the

is of great importance in the Latin American culture. The toasted seeds are used as money
and drink mainly during rituals; everyone adores the sweet pulp. The Amerindian legend
states that the supreme God created this fruit to offer to his wife at their wedding. Currently
in Costa Rica, with coffee, banana and pineapple, cocoa is the most exported agricultural
product. During the cocoa tour, you will enjoy discovering the plant and ancestral

chocolate), but you will especially enjoy the tasting.
