Chocolate & Coffee Tour

If you’re curious about where some of Costa Rica’s favorite flavors come from, this tour offers a hands-on way to explore cacao, coffee, and sugar cane just outside Manuel Antonio. You’ll get to grind chocolate by hand and brew traditional café chorreado, a slow-drip coffee method that’s part of the local culture. Watching two oxen named Fast & Furious operate an old-fashioned sugar cane mill adds a unique touch to the experience. Along the way, you’ll sample fresh-made candies that highlight the natural sweetness of the ingredients. The setting in a private jungle preserve brings a relaxed, natural rhythm to the tour, with chances to spot sloths, monkeys, and tropical birds between tastings. It’s a great fit if you enjoy learning through doing and appreciate the connection between nature and food. Whether you come with friends or on your own, the mix of flavors and wildlife creates a memorable way to spend a few hours.
