“During our Thanksgiving holiday in Guayaquil, my husband, daughter, and I joined a cocoa farm tour led by Francisco, whom we had previously enjoyed on a city highlights tour. Our guide at the farm, Simon, was fluent in English and brought a wealth of knowledge and fun to our day. We savored a delightful lunch featuring local dishes prepared in the family kitchen, toured the farm, and engaged in a hands-on chocolate-making experience from bean to bar.”— 931fayeh

“Simon, our guide, truly made this one of our top experiences in Guayaquil. He highlighted local attractions and demonstrated impressive knowledge about the farm and the chocolate-making process. We walked through the trees to pick ripe pods, roasted and peeled beans, created a delicious chocolate drink, and even crafted our own chocolate bar.

I highly recommend this tour for anyone seeking a unique and memorable adventure.”— Nancy W
44. Cacao farm day trip from Guayaquil
4.8· 32 reviews· 5 hoursFull-day trip by car — explore a family cacao farm, enjoy fresh fruit tastings, and a farm-to-table lunch from organic ingredients.
“Our visit didn't align with what was advertised, as we ended up at a smaller farm with fewer facilities. We weren't able to see the complete chocolate-making process. Afterward, we headed to a town for lunch, which was not a farm-to-table experience. Although the guide was friendly, it felt like we were taken to a different place than anticipated. The tour was unstructured and appeared to be in the process of being developed as a new attraction.”— Helen G
