Additional Information

Take pleasure in the great outdoors with this fantastic all-day excursion, wherein you can spot both tropical and seasonal birds whilst paddling through the estuary in a fishing canoe. As you progress on your hiking trip, pay attention to the howler monkeys and other creatures residing on Pancho Diablo’s hill, their sounds creating a harmonic echo amidst the environment.

As the day continues, you’re in for a treat with a sumptuous three-course meal. Your day doesn’t stop there - you’ll then advance to creating your own handmade chocolate at a chocolate workshop, with the option to garnish it with dried fruits of your choice. Along our journey, we’ll encounter coffee plants, vanilla, rice, and about 50 different tropical fruits - each of which you can sample whilst learning about their respective cultivation processes.

Must attend Cacao and Mango! - Simon was an amazing and attentive guide. He was very well informed and his english was wonderful. The trip down the river was interesting and the howler monkey trail was good - although it was wet when we went we still saw some. The farm Cacao and Mango is the highlight of this trip. It was amazing from beginning to end. The hosts are fabulous. The meal was absolutely scrumptious and the setting is beautiful. I can't say enough positive statements about this place. We learned so much and it was fun as well. I would encourage everyone to attend....and the chocolate was good too!!
