Highlights
- Pacoche - We will start the day with a visit to a secluded and tranquil coffee farm located right in the middle of the Pacoche Rainforest. The views, pure air and peace are worth the trip alone for me, but we have much more for you. The Ecuadorian Coffee bean, while not as famous as the Columbian variety, is known for its fruity undertones and is a booming business, as more and more coffee lovers discover them. We will take you through the cultivation, harvest and production with an interactive exhibition. We are fortunate enough to have one of only 2 beachfront drying beds in the world at this farm. This gives the coffee beans a delicious seaside flavor that can´t be replicated. After touring the scenic farm and seeing the bean process you can try out some great coffee. Take a moment to relax in the time-honored local hammocks and explore the fruit-filled garden. Odds are you will see hummingbirds as well as quite often you can hear or even see howler Monkeys.

Fun, Informative and Delicious! - Juan was a great host and tour leader. Loved all of the stops and how informative they were. We had opportunities to buy but never felt pressured.

A taste of Manta - Our tour guide, Pedro, was knowledgeable and helpful. Had the best hot chocolate ever at the chocolate factory and great tour. The coffee farm tour was more basic. The location offered a beautiful view. This tour covered a lot of the region and was very interesting.

Experience Manta with Locals - We took a private car for 2 persons. The driver Roberto was safe. Roik was attentive to our preferences. We chose to sit and enjoy a delicious pina colada on the beach instead of spending time at a restaurant. The hand made chocolate tour and tasting was more interesting than we thought it would be.

Pedro our "guide" was unprepared at best - Our "tour" guide didn't give us any information about the current or past history while we were on the bus. He answered questions that we had, but really it seemed he know little.
The chocolate tour was just a small shop. They were nice people, but once again, our "guide", Pedro had to receive all information from the proprietors in Spanish and then translate for us. I'm sure he had never been there nor did he do any research about the place.
The coffee tour was just as bad. The owner of the coffee farm began by walking into the wood without any explanation as to where we were going on a very rugged path. All info was once again just a translation from the owner to Pedro. Pedro didn't offer any researched info. I would not waste my money on this tour.
