Chocolate Workshop, Waterfall and Cultural Lunch
Join us on a beautiful 35 minute ride into the mountains to a remote village where we will visit a private property that is nestled in the rainforest and that offers stunning views of the Naranjo River below. You will begin your day in the garden learning about the local fruits and spices used by the locals, you will even get to try the Cacao fruit in its pure form. From here we head down to the Rancho to begin an informative and fascinating lesson on the history of chocolate. Then let's roll up our sleeves to make our very own truffles choosing from a variety of toppings to make it special and unique to you! While letting your chocolate set, head down the short trail to the river and plunge into a refreshing waterfall. Swim in the pool or lay on a giant boulder and take in this special place. After the river, we visit our friend Doña Luz for an authentic interactive cooking experience in her cozy home. Learn to make tortillas and get to know Luz and her family.

Lo que dicen los huéspedes
This by far was the best tour I have ever taken. My guide Caesar was incredible. He was knowledgeable. He was funny and he was patient. He prepared a romantic pineapple treat when we were at the waterfall and he was very courteous the whole day. We really enjoyed our team with him. What made the day even more special was meeting the family who made us lunch and allowed us onto their property. Wife cried when she left because we felt like we were leaving family behind. The meal was absolutely incredible and I am forever changed by the tour.
Our Luna Vida Adventures chocolate-making experience was absolutely wonderful and deeply memorable. Cara Naylor was amazing — she explained the chocolate-making process with such knowledge, care, and genuine love for the craft. You could feel her passion in every detail, and we learned so much along the way. Alberto was fantastic from start to finish. He safely drove us to the experience and went above and beyond to help my 79-year-old mother navigate down to the falls with patience and kindness. His care made the entire day feel comfortable and stress-free. The experience was beautifully rounded out by a delicious, lovingly prepared meal by Doña Luz, which felt like a true gift and a perfect way to end the day. This was more than a tour — it was a heartfelt, human experience. I highly recommend Luna Vida Adventures to anyone looking for something authentic, thoughtful, and truly special.
We did the chocolate making experience with the waterfall swim and local lunch. It was amazing. Alberto was a great guide in the river. Cara was so welcoming and informative during the chocolate making. And the local handmade tortillas and Casado was fantastic! I would definitely recommend this experience.
