Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Chocal, Camino Palmar Grande, Bajabonico 57000 Dominican Republic
Visit the small cocoa manufacture in the countryside made of cocoa plantations. The best thing about the place is that is local and authentic - you can see here every step of the production, apart of the rich explanation and tasting. So different from the other factories around Puerto Plata, letting you explore the whole building and showing everything. If you like their organic products made from cocoa you can buy them on the spot. By visiting the place you support local community as it's project of the local women.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Puerto Plata Province, Puerto Plata Province, Dominican Republic
Let's have a dominican coffee in house of our local host. Here you'll see the typical dominican house in the countryside and will taste a famous dominican coffee made on fire. For that we'll use the traditional coffee maker. Around the house grow cocoa trees and tropical fruits. Although our host and his family don't speak any foreign language, you'll feel as in family. It's a long-term tradition of dominican hospitality.
