You’ll actively partake in every stage of converting cacao fruits into luxury chocolate - from cultivation and harvesting to fermentation and grinding.

Such a gem! - We had a private Chocolate farm tour. We were picked up at our hotel and driven by our guide, Sara, to the small chocolate farm outside of Medellin. The farm is one of a kind and owners were very gracious and friendly. We got to pick our chocolate pods, and make our own chocolate. This was a truly unique and wonderful experience. I would highly recommend it. Sara is a wonderful guide and made our experience even better.

Best Tour - This tour was an amazing experience. From the ride up to the farm and seeing the amazing views, to picking the cacao fruits at the plantation. The farm is beautiful and from the beginning we were treated like family and welcomed. The entire experience was memorable. If I could recommend one tour in Medellin it would be this one.

A real Colombia highlight - Our trip to Sandra’s cacao farm with Andres was a real highlight of our recent trip to Colombia. From learning about the different types of cacao and how to grow it to making your own chocolate, the whole experience was wonderful from start to finish. The farm is in a beautiful location, which only adds to the day and Sandra’s family were a delight and made us feel very welcome. The whole day felt like a unique, personalised experience well off the tourist track. Andres himself was a brilliant guide and we thoroughly enjoyed chatting to him about cacao, coffee, Medellín, Colombian history, politics and more. We will remember our day for many years to come! Sustainable tourism at its very best.
