Description
Tirimbina Chocolate Tour and Suspension Bridge at 262 meters is (nearly 900 feet), this is the 2nd longest suspension bridge in Costa Rica, and it is 22 meters above the Sarapiqui river.
This tour is not just about going across the La Tirimbina Suspension Bridge, it was about the cultural and history of the cacao tree and the process of making organic rainforest chocolate!
The Chocolate Tour begins by taking you across La Tirimbina popular suspension bridge to a former cacao-tree (Theobroma cacao) plantation (around 25 minutes), as well as through a forested section where you will observe how the product originally developed there.
During the walk, you will be exposed to the natural and cultural history of the cacao tree and, upon reaching the plantation, a TRC guide will reveal the secrets of transforming cacao fruit into chocolate.
You’ll see the chocolate-making process first-hand and even have the opportunity to treat your taste buds to organic rainforest chocolate as we did during our visit there. It was Awesome!
After the tour, you can visit La Tirimbina gift shop to purchase some organic cacao chocolate bars made by a group of local women from Pueblo Nuevo de Guácimo, Limón.
This tour is not designed as a visit to a chocolate factory. The idea is to show the natural process that was used since the beginning of the domestication of this plant, that includes harvesting, fermentation, drying, milling of the seeds, to develop the final product we consume nowadays.
