Special Cocoa tour 2d1n

Special Cocoa tour 2d1n

During the tour, you will discover a Peruvian province (La Convencion) in the mountainous jungle that tourists rarely visit. You will learn and experience yourself the making of a product that you consume frequently: chocolate. You will understand the lifestyle of local farmers and will be able to chat with them.
This tour is more special than the others because the farmer you will visit is a confirmed agronomic engineer that spent all his life studying fruits and has perfected his cocoa by modifying the genes of his fruits in order to combine the flavor of the Chuncho and increasing the size of it. He is also one of the only farmers to do all the processes himself and selling his own chocolate past.
