Mill Tour
Chocolate Tour
Macadamia Tour
In the 1980s,
black pepper’s
cultivation took
off in an effort
to diversify non-
traditional crops in
the wet tropical forests.
Its production continues,
although now it is done organically.
It has also been extended to the northern
region of the country in San Carlos.
The pepper tour is interesting as it shows
the production process of this condiment
and how it combines with other spices
like cinnamon, vanilla, white pepper, and
chocolate.
Visitors will learn about the different steps in
the production process, such as the drying,
processing, and packaging stages, that lead to
the final product.
They will also experience an exquisite
variety of aromas and flavors from tropical
spices, as well as sample dishes using this
flavorful spice.
For nature lovers, there is an alternate
way: a tour where you can observe the
tropical rainforest’s biodiversity and find an
enormous array of flowers and medicinal
plants, plants for cosmetic use, and others for
cooking, including vanilla and black pepper.
Where
