Live the Chocolate Experience – Visit a Cacao Plantation and Go on a Sloth Hike

Start your day with a relaxing swim at the beautiful Llano de Cortés waterfall, where you can enjoy a natural pool surrounded by lush tropical vegetation.

Next, head to a small family-run cacao plantation nestled at the base of the Tenorio Volcano. During the guided visit, you’ll learn the secrets of cacao cultivation, its cultural significance in Costa Rica, and the artisanal process of transforming it into chocolate—complete with delicious tastings. The tour also includes a short walk through a rainforest trail on the property, where you’ll have the chance to observe local flora and fauna, including the famous and impressive bullet ant, known for its powerful sting and size.

After this flavorful experience, enjoy a traditional Costa Rican lunch at a local restaurant, made with fresh, regional ingredients and a delicious fruit juice to refresh.

In the afternoon, set off on a 1.5-hour guided hike through a tropical forest reserve, searching for sloths in their natural habitat, along with other fascinating species such as toucans, monkeys, and colorful frogs. A complete, immersive, and unforgettable day!
