From Cacao to Chocolate—with a Little Costa Rican Adventure

Chocolate, Waterfalls, & Campesino Traditions

Book Now

Chocolate tastes even better when you know where it comes from.

Head into the mountains to our family-run Chorro Ecolodge, where chocolate becomes much more than something you unwrap. Taste cacao fresh from the pod, hear the stories of the Costa Rican farmers who grow it, roast and grind the beans, sample exceptional local craft chocolates, and roll your own truffles. Eating along the way is absolutely encouraged.

While your chocolate sets, wander through the rainforest to our private waterfall for a swim, explore the river, or simply find a rock and soak it all in.

Then we head to the home of our neighbor and friend Doña Luz, where you’ll try your hand at making tortillas before sharing a traditional Costa Rican lunch cooked over her wood-burning stove.

It’s hands-on, delicious, easygoing and full of real Costa Rican flavor—equally fun for couples, groups of friends, families, and those wonderful three-generation trips where finding something everyone actually wants to do can feel like a minor miracle.

Come for the chocolate. Leave with a few stories—and probably a little chocolate on your hands.
