About this experience

Book this experience directly with Mateo Zapata, a certified local guide in Medellín.

From the cacao fruit to chocolate: an experience to awaken all your senses. Step into the fascinating world of cacao and discover how this fruit, grown in the fertile lands of Antioquia, is artisanally transformed into one of the world's most treasured products. In a natural setting, you'll visit a cacao farm and get a close look at the work of local producers. You'll discover the process that begins with the plant and the harvest of the fruit, continues with fermentation, drying and the transformation of the seeds, all the way to the chocolate we enjoy at our table. Accompanied by local producers and experts, you'll touch, taste, explore and take part in different stages of the process, while learning the stories, traditions and knowledge passed down around cacao growing. The experience ends with a delicious chocolate tasting, a traditional preparation and wellness moments in contact with nature. 🍫 An experience that connects territory, tradition, nature and flavor. ⏱️ Approx. duration: 4 to 5 hours · Private experience. 💵 Three options (choose yours when booking): • Per hour — $90,000/hour: guide only, groups of 1 to 10 travelers. • Per hour — $110,000/hour: guide only, groups of 10 to 20 travelers. • Full all-inclusive tour — $480,000/traveler (up to 4): transport, farm visit, hands-on process, chocolate tasting, traditional preparation, a dip in natural waters and a cacao scrub.
