For chocoholics and those simply curious - In a high-roofed and creatively set up structure built by hand with native vegetation and local wood, Ronald introduces you to the history of cacao and invites you on the flavor journey of turning a raw cocoa bean into chocolate. The tour is well organized and informative; the host is personable and thoughtful. In the end Ronald offers you cacao goodies to bring home, an opportunity to remember and enjoy the experience. Highly recommended, and don’t forget to order a fresh-made fruit smoothie!

Wonderful Chocolate Tour! - Our family loved Ronald's chocolate tour. He was full of knowledge about chocolate, agricultural and cultural history, and jungle wild life. He made the tour engaging and accessible for us grown ups and our 13 year old daughter. We really liked getting to taste all the stages of the cocoa process, and the hands on experience. Bring cash for the delicious fresh prepared smoothie refreshments and chocolate to take home.

Amazing experience, hands-on and interactive tour - This was an amazing experience! Ronald was such a passionate and friendly guide (owner), we enjoyed talking about the history of chocolate/cocoa and all the process of producing chocolate. Our kids (and not only them :) loved the hands-on learning about the cocoa nad chocolate, tasting of each phase of the production and making a chocolate drink step by step. My daughter enjoyed also chocolate face massage and we spent beautiful 3 hours full of information and fun. Even in tropical heavy rain it was so worth it! We even bought nice souvenirs - no tourist trap - just pure and authentic products. Don't hesitate to buy smoothie full of local fruits made by Ronald's wife - it was truly the best smoothie we had here in Costa Rica (specially the one made of bananas and their chocolate). Thanks for such a great time!

Uvita Chocolate Tour 5 Stars - This was one of the best excursions I have ever taken in Costa Rica. You get to learn the history and participate in the making of chocolate from start to finish. Our tour guide was a very kind and hard working person. It was an unforgettable experience.

Best chocolate you’ll ever taste - such a primitive and unique experience! So hands on and interactive. The owner was so informative and his chocolate was amazing! His story is inspiring, such a hard worker!

A man with true passion! - Ronald has a true passion for chocolate and the process before the industrialization. Just listening to him shine as he speaks is a 5-star review in itself! We got a tour through the process, we got to try to make the paste ourselves, and we even got a facial mask! Very fun and informative experience. Lovely area 💖 Thank you so much!

This is a Don't Miss Experience for the whole family! - I couldn't agree more with all of the comments! This tour exceeded our expectations and then some. I learned SO MUCH about making chocolate the original way....by hands, no machines. Ronald was so knowledgeable and seemed to love sharing his experiences with us. He was very good to include all of us....age 7 through 73. This felt rustic and real. It will be one of our best memories of Costa Rica. I highly recommend.
