A fresh 'pipa' (young coconut) awaits you at the dock of our farm, located in the heart of Dolphin Bay, a quiet lagoon surrounded by mangroves.
Before exploring Finca Montezuma's cacao grove grown under centuries-old shade trees, we follow the lovely hibiscus path & have some time to greet the farm animals (sheep, cows, horses, dogs, cats,...) & learn about the fruit trees (biriba, jackfruit,...) & exotic flowers (vanilla orchids, gingers & heliconias).
Keep your eyes open for sloths, monkeys, toucans & other birds while we're harvesting fresh cacao pods & discover their morphological diversity. From the majestic fig tree, the leaf cutter ant trail leads us back to the farmhouse. Try your hand at winnowing & grinding our artisanally fermented cacao beans into cacao liquor while we indulge in cacao drinks & treats, including some of our prized chocolate creations.
We'll then hop on the boat to our favourite local snorkeling spot to explore sea gardens of sponges, anemones and starfish and spot majestic rays and the occasional octopus! The lush mangrove island is also home to birds like pelicans, egrets & cormorants. Along the ride you may even get to see the resident bottle nose dolphins of Dolphin Bay in their natural habitat.
Are you ready to experience Bocas in a unique way...?
We're happy to help organize transport from town & elsewhere.
