Bocas del Toro – Chocolate Factory & Indian Village tour
TOUR OVERVIEW
Hidden in the rainforests of Bocas del Toro in a native Ngabe village, discover the ancient secrets of chocolate: from its discovery and use, in tropical America, to the processing of the product we know and enjoy today. We invite our guests to join in the traditional processing of the chocolate and taste it as it turns from raw cocoa seeds to a finished product.
Considered as a “Gift of the Gods”, the cacao tree was very important to the ancient culture, it was not only used as a ceremonial drink, but its seeds were also used as currency because of its economic value , in many regions.
