We really enjoyed our time at the farm and learned everything about growing and processing cacao. The work was always fun and varied. Rodrigo, Augusto, and Maria made us feel right at home. They were very kind people, and the food was delicious, with plenty of cacao (even as vegetarians, the food was excellent for us). The farm is beautifully located , surrounded by nature. Thank you for the wonderful time; we would always come back!

"Hi, Rebecca. We're glad you enjoyed the cacao process and our hospitality. However, it seems contradictory to say that you learned the entire process and then complain that the tasks were repetitive. On a farm, especially during harvest season, some tasks must be repeated because they are essential. This is not an entertainment tour; it's a volunteer program, and those who come should be willing to help, not just receive."

The experience was incredible. We were warmly welcomed by the family and fastly we felt like we were at home. The family is really kind, show us some places to visit during the weekend, talked a lot with us and we even played games. On the working part, we had clear time of works and it was really interesting because we learnt all the processes behind the chocolate bar and we were able to take part in various activities such as planting, harvesting, taking of the grains of the cacao, fermenting the cacao, toasting the cacao, taling of the skin of the cacao.

"¡Galadriel, qué lindo mensaje! 🥰 Nos llena de alegría saber que se sintieron como en casa y que disfrutaron tanto la experiencia con nosotros. Fue un placer compartir con ustedes, aprender juntos y vivir momentos especiales. También los extrañamos y siempre tendrán un lugar en nuestra familia. ¡Ojalá nos volvamos a encontrar, ya sea aquí entre los árboles de cacao o en Francia! 💛🌱🍫 Un gran abrazo, waykey!"
