We started a guided hike through the tropical forest. We are in no hurry: we will take strategic breaks to spot sloths, toucans or frogs. When you arrive at the majestic falls, you can immerse yourself in its crystal clear waters to cool off and enjoy a unique natural environment.

Back to the starting point, we will rehydrate with fresh coconut water and seasonal fruits.
Cocoa Workshop: Those who choose the full experience will discover the ancestral process of chocolate, from seed to bar. Best of all! You can brew your own chocolate bar with our secret house ingredient.

We finish the activity with the satisfaction of having connected with nature. Throughout the tour, we will take the best photographs of your best moments, which will be shared for free so that they will take an unforgettable memory.
