Highlights

We start at 8.00 a.m. with a convenient pickup from your hotel. Our first stop is a protected reserve, home to howler monkeys, colorful forest birds, amphibians, and reptiles, all set within a beautiful tropical dry forest.


Next, we visit a local cacao farm where chocolate is crafted right where the cacao grows. What makes this tour truly special is that you won’t just be an observer you’ll actively participate. You’ll learn the entire cacao process, from fresh fruit to chocolate bar, and get to taste a variety of cacao-based products along the way.


To complete this immersive experience, you’ll prepare a traditional Ecuadorian meal featuring cacao as the star ingredient in the appetizer, main course, dessert, and hot chocolate, each dish lovingly made by hand.


This tour uniquely connects nature, culture, and flavor in a personal, authentic, and educational way. It’s more than just a tour—it’s a full sensory journey to experience Ecuador at its heart.

Itinerary

  • Bosque Protector Cerro Blanco

    2 hoursAdmission Ticket Included
    The Canoa Trail, located in Cerro Blanco Protected Forest in Guayaquil, Ecuador, offers a unique experience for nature lovers. Stretching 1.2 km, this low-to-medium difficulty trail features breathtaking views of natural landscapes, towering trees that create a refreshing climate, and a creek known as Canoa. It is ideal for families, children, and beginners in hiking. Along the trail, visitors may spot birds such as the green macaw and other endemic species, as well as tarantulas and, with some luck, howler monkeys in their natural habitat. The trail also includes an amphitheater, perfect for resting and enjoying outdoor activities.
  • Ingreso Hacienda El Castillo

    2 hoursAdmission Ticket Included
    The process begins in the greenhouse, where the finest Don Homero cacao plants are cultivated. Productive trees are carefully selected to germinate seeds, and after a month and a half, a graft is performed using high-quality branches. The young plants are then acclimated in the greenhouse before being transplanted. In the field, cacao is planted alongside plantains, which provide natural shade. After about a year and a half, the cacao trees begin producing fruit, while the plantains are gradually removed. Through sustainable agricultural practices like natural fertilization, irrigation control, annual pruning, and weed management, productivity is optimized. This process not only ensures premium-quality cacao but also creates stunning landscapes that visitors can explore while learning about the journey from cacao to chocolate.
