Santander is the department with the highest cocoa production in Colombia, producing more than 25% of the country’s cocoa. Municipalities such as San Vicente de Chucurí, El Carmen or Rionegro are the main producers.
When visiting any of the cocoa farms in this region you will pass through majestic natural landscapes, cocoa forests, rivers, streams or even the large Topocoro reservoir. The owners of the farms to visit will welcome you with a traditional cup of chocolate and then explain the process and cultivation of cocoa from the plant to the finished product.
Prices may vary according to the season.
