The Örebä Chocolate Tour invites guests for an unforgettable experience where they can delve into the delightful world of chocolate while exploring the lush beauty of the rainforest. Tours run daily from Almirante, departing at 9:30 am and 12:30 pm, with convenient pickups at major water taxi stations. Advanced booking is required.
Participants will enjoy an exciting hike through vibrant cacao farms, learning about the intricate process of cultivating and transforming cacao into chocolate. Along the way, they may encounter fascinating wildlife, including sloths, poison dart frogs, and even toucans. Knowledgeable guides, fluent in English and Spanish, share insights into the sustainable practices of the indigenous people who cultivate 100% certified organic shade-grown cacao.
The tour features a traditional Ngobe Indian lunch made with local roots, alongside a chocolate-making demonstration. Each guest receives a complimentary 4 oz bag of the chocolate of their choice.
Though the hike can be steep in parts, it rewards adventurers with the chance to taste the freshest chocolate they’ve ever had. Good hiking shoes and rain jackets are highly recommended, as the tour takes place in a rainforest environment.
Additionally, Örebä now offers rustic accommodations with a local indigenous family for just $5 a bed. Guests are encouraged to inquire about these lodging options and the new waterfall tour available in the community. Join the Örebä Chocolate Tour for a sweet escape into nature and culture!
