Behind cassava and lemon plantations, Ayda and Eloísa grow cacao on their family farm, La Isabela, passed down through generations. Their warm smiles make every visitor feel at home.
Explore Hacienda Bambusa on foot or bike with a guide, and meet your hosts to learn about the farm’s artisanal cocoa fermentation and drying process, preparing beans for export.
After the tour, enjoy refreshing drinks and homemade treats at Ayda and Eloísa’s home. Cap off the experience with a delicious outdoor lunch under the majestic saman tree.
