Experience the Cocoa production process from planting to harvesting. We invite you to enjoy through your senses one of the secrets that surround this great enigma that brings so much happiness to Dominicans.

Walk through our Cocoa path, experience the sowing and harvesting of Cocoa, enjoy a delicious chocolate made by none other than yourself, and enjoy a facial chocolate therapy.

Side note: Artisan chocolate is excellent for anxiety and irritability because it contains theobromine and theophylline.

After this wonderful experience discovering the magic of chocolate production, you will enjoy a delicious typical meal and then you will visit the Historic Center of Puerto Plata where emblematic places await you. Here you will learn and have fun while taking impressive photos to capture unique memories.

Absolutely recommend this tour. It does take time to get to the farm but worth the travel. Great hearing the family story, learning the organic and natural way of growing plants and tasting the raw cocoa.

This was a very unique visit to an organic cacao plantation. The third-generation owner was very friendly and provided a great experience.

Our driver and tour guide was over an hour late, but made up for it by staying an hour longer. We were traveling with kids and the delay pushed lunch back about 3 hours, which made for some grumpy guests. If you book this tour, be patient and bring snacks. Well worth the time.

We had a wonderful trip to Hacienda Cufa. The historical story of Puerto Plata province taught by the guide and opportunity to ask questions was superb.
Walking through the jungle to see the chocolate plants was amazing and other plants were identified and talked about. We made, ate and even had a facial made of chocolate. We considered this an exceptional opportunity to experience the authentic Dominican Republic! Excellent trip overall. Karen, Kathie, Kristi and Dee

This tour was not as described . Not private, no chocolate facial, no make your own chocolate, very little English spoken, no commentary or historical guiding, seatbelts not working in car. Thank goodness one of our party spoke Spanish. Most concerning of all was that the driver drank the wine samples at the chocolate place quite liberally. Save money and time and tour other chocolate factories for free that are in Puerto Plata (Del Oro etc).

Unfortunately due to weather, we were unable to visit Hacienda Cufa. Instead, the tour took us to Chocolala. This was a lovely farm with a short tour and some nice photo opportunities. I also bought a few local artisan chocolates. I did feel disappointed to not get to experience making chocolate myself or getting the fuller experience of harvesting and learning about the hacienda or having the typical lunch on the farm. Nor did we get the chocolate facial. Hopefully next time we will be able to have the experience! The city tour after was nice though and we had a lot of flexibility with the private cab and very nice local tour guide Hector. It was a nice day for my 7 year old daughter and I but not what we had originally planned for.

Authentic!!! Got to meet a man who works his land, making cocoa to sell to neighbors. Hung out in his palapa; walked around his property. So cool!
