At Finca La Providencia near Moca, a farm guide leads you along hillside paths through cacao cultivation, contour farming, worm tea, composting, and the bean-to-bar process. You will see a cacao harvest, taste fruit from the tree, compare 65% and 75% chocolate, enjoy hot chocolate and cacao-husk tea, and return to the farm shop.
“The cacao tour was magnificent. It’s a family business that gives a wonderful presentation and cacao tasting. I went with my family, which included kids from 5 to 18 years old and adults up to 70.
