Full-Day Tour: Cacao farm experience in the jungle of Cusco
Day 1: Cusco – Huayopata (Family Farm) – Cusco Pick-up: 5:00 AM from Cusco hotels, or 6:30 AM from Ollantaytambo/Urubamba. Around 8:00 AM, we'll make an optional stop at Abra Málaga for specialty coffee or hot chocolate at nearly 4,300 m. By 9:30 AM we'll reach the farm and meet Julia and José. A family member will guide us through their diverse crops — coffee, cacao, coca, tea, and fruit trees — with tastings straight from the plant and a look at medicinal plants and cacao fruit. At noon, we'll roast cacao and learn the steps to pure chocolate, followed by a home-style lunch (vegan/vegetarian options available on request). At 2:00 PM, we'll taste our chocolate paired with local fruits and chili, plus a cup of 100% cacao hot chocolate, before heading back around 3:00 PM. We'll pass Ollantaytambo (train station drop-off available) around 6:00 PM, arriving in Cusco by 7:30 PM, traffic permitting.
