Nice community who learn us a lot about cacao and chocolate

Reviewed By Patrice_VDD

Donald explained us the different stage of the cacao plant and how to make chocolate. Very instructive. They have a lot of variety of plants and trees used mainly for cooking . We had lunch there too. Excellent

The Cacao Farm

We are a farm, a restaurant and a hotel, but all together we have created a unique experience that is deeply detoxifying and rejuvenating. Highend private guest rooms, three meals per day served in a communal dining room, internet is limited to the office so guests an experience a true unplugging from the world while immersing themselves in nature, farming and quality food.

Loved it & will be coming back…

Staying at the farm for 10 days is one of the most unique experiences I’ve ever had. I got to plant some coffee trees, see some pigs chickens & dogs, eat locally sourced food, look at the night sky with zero light pollution, detox from all electronics, hacking some excess rainforest growth with a machete, catch up on sleep, and catch up on some reading — all things I don’t get to experience in the city. Beyond the experience, what captured me most was the Cacao Farm’s mission: restoring the rainforest. I admire the passion they have for bringing back the ecosystem. I learned so much about nature and how they are restoring the land to how it used to be. Learning about the mission and the details of how they’re materializing it was my favorite part of the whole trip. It gave the whole trip a deeper meaning in addition to being a great learning experience. I work in a high-stress environment, so I knew being at the farm for 10 days would allow me to relax and recharge. It's perfect for anyone who lives in the city and wants a reset. I came back to the city with LOTS of energy. The 3 months that followed were my most productive and resulted in record revenue numbers for my company. If you’re looking for a truly unique experience I would highly, HIGHLY recommend the Cacao Farm. I know I will definitely be back!

La Hermandad Reserva Natural y Refugio de Vida Silvestre

Enjoy the harmony of the natural environment with our community-based tourism project, offering accommodations that are humble but cozy. We have one cabin and a "rancho" with both private and dorm style rooms. A visit to the farm includes opportunities to hike our over 70 acres of cloud forest, learn about ecological coffee production, and enjoy home cooked meals from our organic garden.

austere paradise

Reviewed By karen2863

For the adventure traveller, this is an amazing nature preserve. We saw howler monkeys 20 feet away, a sloth, a toucan, tons of butterflies and tropical birds. The night sky was beautiful- no light pollution and the elevation is high enough for the sky to be amazingly clear. Sebastian, the owner of the coffee cooperative and his wife are extremely helpful and friendly. We had the best Nica food in all of Nicaragua, all for $20.00/night including lodging. Electricity is spotty, so bring a flashlight. The road up is steep. You'll need a taxi or pick-up, which can be arranged through Planting Hope, a local NGO based in San Ramon. This is off the beaten path, but well worth the effort.

One of the worst things ever

Reviewed By GabrielOmar

This is what Finca Ecoturismo Kilimanjaro officially offered: 1) a coffee tour 2) guided hiking 3) guided wildlife spotting 4) horse riding 5) comfortable midrange accommodation 6) 3 meals a day 7) coffee tasting This is what we actually got: 1) a quick walk to the nearest coffee plants with some explanation lacking enthusiasm (15 minutes) 2) a random walk around the farm with one of the workers (this was suppose to be the hike, I guess, 20 minutes) 3) no wildlife spotting (my questions about birds and sloths were coldly dismissed by Andres, he said he had once in his life seen a quetzal bird) 4) 20 minutes of horse riding around the farm, no words spoken 5) destroyed mattress, bad pillow, torn sheets, flood in the bathroom, no mosquito nets, poor light in the room 6) we got 3 meals, they were nicely prepared but incredibly salty, I really couldn't believe it, even the maracuja juice had salt in it, I lost my appetite after the first bite, never had anything as salty as that 7) no coffee tasting, just a cup at breakfast, tasted like cardboard soaked in yesterdays stale coffee, really low quality, normally you’d have to go looking for a bad coffee like that But what we found even worse – the guy behaves as a mighty landowner who doesn't care whatsoever about wildlife or your experience as a visitor. I luckily speak Spanish but even that didn't help, he just remained silent most of the time. We had a feeling that his workers have a really low status, they were afraid to look us into the eyes. Felt like they were slaves. And the price (are you ready for this?): 100 $ for 1 night for 2 people (arrived 6 pm, left 1 pm the following day). Also, mind the name 'Ecoturism' - during the brief horse riding we saw a bunch of workers spraying coffee plants with chemicals. So much about 'eco'... The guy has a huge farm, exports coffee to Finland and USA, has 2 new looking Toyota Hilux 4 WDs parked at the house, pays his workers a miserable 5 $ a day (we accidentally came across one of his notebooks with various cost calculations and couldn't help but notice this) and … there's more coming (are you ready?): At the end he tried to sell us his crappy coffee for 10 $ a kilo!!! I directly told him I buy better quality coffee at a cheaper price in Europe about 10.000 km from the nearest plantations but he just shrugged his shoulders, lacking enthusiasm even then. We have been to 49 countries of this world. We know when we get robbed. Looking back at it, we should have just left without paying anything (or perhaps leaving a tip for the salt).
