The day starts at your doorstep when we pick you up. Then we start our journey to north of Medellin, just 1 hour away through beautiful sceneries. Once we arrive we are welcomed by Oscar the cacao farmer and he will walk us through the plantation to see the cacao plants in their natural form as well as other natural local products like tangerine trees, coffee plants, plantain trees and more. Then we plant cacao seeds to show you the timeline and after that we start picking cacao fruits from the trees. Once we've picked enough we head back to the farm for the next step: fermenting. To ferment the cacao, we need to cut the fruit and extract the seeds. You also get a chance to try the raw chocolate fruit which is deliciously sweet. Once we’ve opened the fruit, we pour the seeds into wooden containers. After fermenting, the cacao then needs to be dried. To dry the fermented cacao, we use a green house called Marquesina for around 2 days (depending on the weather).
