The Oreba Chocolate Tour, gives you an insider's view on how the local indigenous cultivate and process cacao. It's truly fascinating and you'll never eat chocolate again without appreciating how much work goes into it. This can be a rainy day activity, since you are in the jungle. Bring shoes that can handle mud.
