Was an amazing tour, we had Juan as our guide and he was so knowledgeable and passionate about everything, he made it an incredible experience!

This tour was such a cool and fun experience. I love coffee and chocolate and I learned so much about both. It’s so cool to learn about everything!!

Such a cool experience! We saw lots of animals, primarily tree frogs and insects that we wouldn't have seen during a daytime. Our guide was very knowledgeable and experienced.

This tour was fantastic. Our guide had a degree in biology and had extensive experience in cacao and coffee. He not only told us about coffee and chocolate but included a lot of info about the ecosystem in Costa Rica.

Our pick up was right on time. Our tour guide and driver were very friendly and attentive. Juan, our guide, was very knowledgeable. We enjoyed everything immensely!

Great tour guide! Sergio was great at spotting animals and took great photos for us. A really nice guy as well. He knew his stuff!! Did you know scorpions glow under black light? Neither did we. He showed us that and other very cool things. Highly recommend.

I reached out to Terra Travel Costa Rica approximately one hour before their next tour and they were able to accommodate us. Their communication was quick and easy. Sergio was our guide and was so informative and personable. We all felt totally comfortable asking him questions and generally conversing with him about the area. Sergio makes the tour a great mix of cultural and natural education. My favorite part, though, is how interactive it is. You learn about the history of cacao, coffee, and sugar cane. However, you also get to smell medicinal and cooking plants/spices and try a few traditional Costa Rican drinks (the last had the option of a small amount of cacique but all can be non-alcoholic). As an added bonus, we also saw iguanas and a coati (who apparently frequents the area). Accessibility wise- the tour is over flat grounds, a small amount of walking over some grass. There is a bathroom and water available.

We didnt realize when we booked this that we were going to be the only ones on this tour. It was the last tour of the day, and even though we were the only ones, Sergio did not seem annoyed or try to rush through it. He was very knowledgeable of everything. Very personable. 10/10 recommend.

Sergio was our guide, very knowledgeable about the plants and animals. He didn’t rush through the tour, gave us all a chance to take photos. Very informative .

Sergio did a great job we saw more wildlife than expected. Thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks. Ok that's 100 characters minimum.

Easy booking. Excellent communication. They arrived on time to pick us up from our door step in clean modern van/bus. Our tour guide Sergio was engaging, knowledgeable, and funny. The tour was very interactive and tactile. We were encouraged to use all of our senses in the process of learning about the history of chocolate and coffee production and what makes Costa Rican produced flavors unique. If we return to the region, I want to do a night tour with this company, hopefully with the same guide. Highly recommend!

We loved this tour. It was so informative. It was really fun and convenient to our place. They picked us up from our Airbnb. The tastings of all the chocolate and coffee was really outstanding

We learnt a lot about the good qualities of the cacao bean. I’m never eating milk chocolate again, just dark chocolate! Juan was a great guide and is very knowledgable. Highly recommend doing this…

Sergio was a wonderful guide and I would highly recommend him. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable about every stage of the chocolate growth, development and production, he also loves the subject and this comes through clearly on the tour. We started by seeing the plants in different stages and learning about their growing conditions, the incredible way in which they are pollenated and the differences in the varieties. You will get to see coffee, chocolate, cinnamon and vanilla bean plants, which are all growing on the plantation. The real highlight of the tour is making your own chocolate from the beans, and then enjoying what the Aztec referred to as the “drink of the Gods” which is unique and delicious. I can’t wait to make this for my friends at home! There was also a demonstration of different ways to make coffee and the best way to enjoy it. We enjoyed a cup of Costa Rican coffee which was very tasty. Then we helped press sugar cane into another delicious drink. All in all this was an awesome experience and I would highly recommend. We went as a couple, one of us loves coffee and the other loves chocolate and we both would tell everyone we know to take this tour and make sure you ask for Sergio. He really made this tour come to life for us. If you love coffee and/or chocolate this is a must-do!

I am actually taking a professional chocolate class in the U.S. and it was just as I had read. The cacao tour ( and a look at vanilla plant/bean) was informative, hands-on, and included a wonderful tasting at the end. Worth the effort. Recommend highly. (There were several children in the group and they engaged them so they stayed interested.)
