“Making my own chocolate was a delight. The teacher was patient and informed and friendly! I recommend those to everybody that I see now”
Secret cacao-and-jungle walk in Minca, Colombia: bird songs, farm tasting, cacao face mask, and a waterfall clay bath.
“Andrés is an excellent guide. We visited the cocoa farm, hiked in the beautiful surroundings and had a fun ending with a bath in the waterfall.”
Half day trek in Minca via historic Tayrona trails, then a coffee and cacao farm visit with tasting, plus time to cool at a waterfall.
“Jorge is knowledgeable, social and happy to answer any questions. The tour was informative and fun. A great start to your stay in Minca.”
A half-day nature walk to a 1960 coffee and cacao farm in Minca, with organic tastings, hot chocolate, and cacao exfoliation.
“Our guide Daniel was super friendly and very knowledgeable - we couldn’t have asked for a better guide! The day felt like a true Colombian experience.”
A 4-hour private walk through Bogotá’s La Candelaria plus a hands-on cacao and coffee workshop with tastings and local context.
“I went with Vivi on a 4-hour "Rent a Friend" walkabout around the Palequemao Fruit Market and Chapinero one morning. Then went with Aleja on the Kickstart Cacao + Coffee tour another morning. We can't wait to come back to Bogotá and go with Zebra Fisgona on their other tours. They really do feel like visits with very knowledgeable and fun local friends rather than "tours". Just like real friends from the city, they also gave us really good recommendations on places to eat and things to try after our tours. Highly recommended!!!”
VIP Bogotá food tour with market fruit tastings, arepas, cacao, lunch, coffee, and craft beer, plus neighborhood time in Chapinero and Usaquén.
“It was great to try all kinds of fruits I had never seen before at the marketplace. Then we tried fantastic arepas. Had a tasting of different chocolates at a small facility. Yum. Then came a wonderful lunch. Followed by a tour of different neighborhoods of Bogota. The guide was very knowledgeable and informative. There was so much food, I didn't need to eat anything the rest of the day. I must say this was one of the best tours I have ever been on.”
Private cacao, Taironaka ruins, and a Don Diego River wildlife float from Riohacha, with pickup and a guide who makes it personal.
“Community oriented eco experience. Lunch was very good after a memorable river float trip. A guided tour through Tayrona history areas was available.”
Cartagena cacao workshop where you learn the process, taste Colombia-style chocolates, and make your own bonbons, truffles, or bars in 1h45.
“We had a fantastic experience learning all about the chocolate making process and the children got to make their own chocolate. Brilliant, interesting and fun for all the family-can’t recommend it highly enough-Ale was a great guide.”
Walk La Candelaria with a local guide, then taste Colombian coffee and cacao in a barista-led workshop with latte art.
“Juanita was amazing and her English is fluent. We are a family of 6, with 4 teenagers (19, 18, 16 and 14yr) and she engaged us all for 4 hours. She was full of stories about Columbia’s history and she knows a huge amount, is passionate about her country and wants to share that with others. We really enjoyed the coffee/cacao experience where we were educated about the cacao and coffee process by a woman who has set up a great coffee/cacao shop. Juanita was really generous with her recommendations and helped us navigate the city with ideas for the next few days. I would thoroughly recommend Juanita and her…”
