Chocolate Tour

Journey Beyond Manuel Antonio to Discover Authentic Flavors and Traditions

Venture out from Manuel Antonio in our 4x4 vehicle to a charming village nestled just 30 minutes into the mountains. Visit the secluded property of Chorro Ecolodge in the middle of the rainforest, offering a breathtaking view of the rushing Naranjo River below.

Head to the Rancho for a hands-on journey into the world of cacao—where story, culture, and flavor come alive. Learn how Costa Rican farmers nurture cacao from the land, and how local makers transform it into beautiful craft chocolate. Then step into the process yourself: roast, grind, and experience cacao in its purest form before tasting a curated selection from different regions of Costa Rica.

Next, roll up your sleeves and create your own truffles, choosing from a variety of delicious toppings to make them entirely your own.

While your chocolate sets, wander down a jungle trail to the river. Cool off beneath a cascading waterfall, swim in the natural pool, or stretch out on a sun-warmed boulder and simply take it all in. A moment of pure, wild serenity—Chorro style.

Afterward, visit our neighbor and friend, Doña Luz, for an authentic, hands-on lunch experience in her cozy home. Learn to make tortillas and connect with Doña Luz and her family before an early afternoon return to Manuel Antonio.
