    A complete experience, explaining the process from the seeds to the tree, from the city of the cobs during their growth to the harvest, and from the harvested cob to the chocolate. Very good manual/traditional process experience. A flavor experience, as you taste cocoa at different times and ways of preparation. You also make your own shape with molds and melted chocolate. It is new to leave Santo Domingo early, to avoid traffic. Plus. Alex gave us a lot of information and cultural references during the tour! We went with the family, we enjoyed it, we were back in Santo Domingo before 4pm, we could still do things that day.
