An eye-opener experience! - I had never realized that making chocolate (as in good, dark, organic chocolate) could be 1/ so hard, 2/ so much fun, 3/ so rewarding. The tour organizers are top-notch: knowledgeable and interesting. Efren’s finca –with its gorgeous vistas over the valley– is a welcomed refuge from Medellín’s hurly burly, just 90 minutes away. Highly recommended.

An unforgettable chocolate experience - Oscar made the journey to our destination very interesting because he told us many things about Medellin. Our hosts at the chocolate farm were welcoming and it was clear there was a good bond between them and Oscar. We were shown the cacao on the trees,then we picked some and tasted them . Sandra and Oscar showed us the process of making our individual chocolate bars from beginning to end . We had chocolate to drink with bread and cheese whilst overlooking the amazing views. A great experience .

Fascinating and Fun - What a fun trip we had. The whole thing was very relaxed and Oscar kept us entertained with good conversation the whole car ride to the plantation. We loved that this was a family business and felt welcomed into their home. Oscar had a great rapport with us and our hosts, which made things very enjoyable. The scenery, wildlife, and growing process were stunning. Learning the processes and making our own chocolate was so much fun. I would recommend this tour to anyone looking for a low-key adventure outside of Medellin. Have fun!

Chocolate room - Sandra and her mother were very warm and accommodating. Since I didn't want to make chocolate bars from the cocoa mass yet, Sandra has agreed to warm up the already cooked chocolate and make small bars from it. The environment is very nice. We were also able to observe some birds.

Delightful, informative, relaxing. Great half day tour - The chocolate tour to join if you're looking for one around Medelline! Yuly and Sandra have been ever so hospitable, and the travel time wasn't too long, and the farm itself is delightful, not only with chocolate but also scattered an abundance of organically grown fruits and herbs. First-hand experience in learning about cacao and chocolate making, tasting the fruit at every stage. Even if you might not consider yourself a chocolate fan, your taste buds would be surprised! (And if you're a chocolate lover, you'd even cherish them more!

Beautiful Colombia - This tour was wonderful. Your guide Oscar speaks excellent English and will take you to a farm in the highlands north of Medellin. Sandra and her family welcome you to the property with warmth and hospitality. Senor Efren designed and planted everything you will see and taste- many plants and fruits I have never heard of before. Then you will pick the cocoa from the tree and begin the process of farm to table chocolate creation. I will cherish the memory of this very special experience.
