A warm, humid breeze moves through low-hanging cacao pods as visitors step onto a hillside path edged with banana and coffee plants. The 20-acre farm unfurls in terraces, and for two hours guests follow prepared contour walkways where soil, shade trees and the cacao canopy interact like gears in a machine. Guides move easily among the rows—pointing out flowers, swollen pods and the white mucilage that protects the beans—while the scent of green chocolate and damp earth fills the air.
