Cacao Trail - Sunday 25th May
8am departures from PG Town, BZ$100 per person

The Cacao Trail takes you into Toledo's heartland, with its lush green interior blanketing the foothills of the Maya Mountains.

Leaving from Punta Gorda, you'll journey north-west up the Southern Highway, before turning off onto the unpaved roads which lead to the villages nestled throughout Toledo's chocolate country!

You'll visit the organic cacao orchards, and meet the farmers who are all members of the Toledo Cacao Growers Association. Enjoy a traditional Maya lunch, and try the kuku drink and homemade chocolate, before moving on to one of Toledo's beautiful inland attractions. The CacaoTrail ends at Lubaantun for a special performance of the Deer Dance!

Cacao Trail tour options:

1. Justiniano Bol's farm in San Antonio, moving on to Blue Creek Rainforest Preserve

2. Luciano Sho's farm in San Antonio, moving on to Rio Blanco National Park

3. Eladio Pop's farm in San Pedro Columbia, moving on to Lubaantun or Blue Creek

Please note that each tour will be kept to a maximum of 10 people. Tickets are available from the Toledo Travel Centre, IBTM Tours (email suncreek@hughes.net), or from the CacaoFest Tent at the Taste of Toledo Fair on Saturday 24th May in Central Park, PG.
