Itinerary
Begin your tour with a pickup from your central Guayaquil hotel at approximately 10am. From there, you will be transferred to the farm that is via Naranjal. It is a family farm of 12 hectares dedicated for generations to farming products such as cocoa, rice, and tropical fruits. Upon your arrival, you will have the opportunity to learn more about the process of planting cocoa, as it is sown. Learn about its growth and the several processes that turn it into chocolate. Embrace the direct interaction with nature, as you handle the fruit obtained from the cacao tree. Perform the process of making cocoa pasta, which consists of toasting, husking, and grinding the seeds obtained from cocoa to create the chocolate pasta. As you do these tasks, make sure to observe the wildlife around you. Next, break for a typical lunch, prepared with organic ingredients that are grown on the farm. Come the end of the day, you will be transferred back to your original hotel.

About Guayaquil
Guayaquil is Ecuador's largest city and main port, a hot, humid river city with a landscaped waterfront and a hillside of coloured houses.
Guayaquil sits on the estuary of the Guayas River on the Pacific side of Ecuador. The Malecón 2000, a long riverside promenade, runs past gardens, museums, a clock tower and a viewing wheel. At the northern end, the Las Peñas quarter climbs Cerro Santa Ana, its coloured wooden houses lining a stairway of more than 400 steps that ends at a lighthouse and chapel.
Top-ranked sights in Guayaquil: Seminario Park (Parque de las Iguanas), Malecon 2000, Guayaquil Historical Park (Parque Histórico).
