Did you know that cacao was considered a gift from the gods by indigenous cultures? In Costa Rica, cacao has a millenary history: it was used as currency, medicine, and part of sacred ceremonies long before chocolate conquered the world.

For centuries, indigenous communities such as the Bribri and Cabécar have traditionally cultivated and prepared cacao. Although its production declined over time, today Costa Rican cacao is experiencing a renaissance: artisanal farms are rescuing native varieties and creating unique chocolates, full of history and flavor. A chocolate tour in Costa Rica is more than a tasting – it’s a journey to our roots, where every bite tells an ancestral story.
