La Leyenda de Chocolate Tour
Overview
Inclusions
- cacao beverage tasting
What to expect
Trek back in time about 5, 600 years where cocoa originated in the Amazon basin of Ecuador. While Ecuadorian drummers play local music. Participants are invited to pick up an instrument and play, if they like.
We will all pitch in and roast cocoa beans over a wood fire, hand shell the cocoa beans and hand grind the warm beans with a stone grinder. We add spices and flavorings that were used 3, 000 years ago to flavor our beverage. You will get a chance to mix the beverage until frothy and
serve the beverage to the participants to enjoy an authentic chocolate. After we drink our beverage we are invited to hang out, dance, sing and enjoy. Food and beverages are available for purchase.

Muy divertido e interesante. Al final podemos tomar la bebida de chocolate con canela. Hay como agregar Miel y aji. Sugerencia: cambien las cucharitas de plástico por unas metálicas.

We went to El Quetzal de Mindo for a late lunch visiting the river in Mindo. The restaurant is very well located and close to main square in Mindo. I definitely recommend the steak in coffee sauce for lunch. My friends had Quinoto and Shrimp and one tasted better than the other! Try their home-made beer (cervesa artesanal) and the coco juice ! So so good. After being satisfied with the great food, we tried the tour and it did not disappoint! We tried several amazing tasting chocolates while learning how they are produced. Our tour guide Gorge was very funny and friendly. Our visit to el Quetzal ended with a taste of chocolate brownie that I will dream of for the coming years ! SO SO AMAZING!We stayed at El Quetzal through AirBNB, which included Breakfast and the two tours, which was very convenient.

We stayed at El Quetzal through AirBNB, which included Breakfast and the two tours, which was very convenient. The staff is very helpful and friendly and assisted in getting us rides to the activities outside of town (shout out to Jessica!) For Breakfast the Eggs Benedict over fried plantains was probably one of my favorite meals in Ecuador. I also recommend the Ginger Ale and Guava Beer. The tours were also great. The traditional chocolate making tour included live music and had a very intimate atmosphere. Carlos was our guide for both of them and spoke great English and was very informative. We even ran into him in town a couple of times and chatted. I highly recommend El Quetzal if you go to Mindo, even if its just for one activity. It was definitely a highlight of our trip.We loved this. Our guide, Angel, was terrific. I loved hearing about the importance of the ceremony. The music was excellent. We loved that we participated in making the chocolate drink. It was so fun.
