Hello, adventurers! Trip to Churute We depart from Guayaquil towards a hidden treasure called Churute, an hour and a half away. Upon arrival, we will connect with the local community. Some of its members are dedicated to fishing for red crab, while others are engaged in agriculture. Howler Monkey Trail Next, we will arrive at the howler monkey trail. This protected area of tropical dry forest is home to a diverse variety of exotic species of birds, reptiles, and mammals. Among them, we will frequently observe the presence of howler monkeys in their natural wild state. Experience at a Cocoa Farm In the afternoon, we will continue our experience at a cocoa farm. We will learn the entire process of making organic chocolate, from the cocoa fruit to the various uses we will give it to taste several types of chocolate. We will prepare our own chocolate and enjoy a typical lunch prepared outdoors to taste typical Ecuadorian food.

Our guide was amazing! We saw so many howler monkeys, and the chocolate-making/tasting experience was incredible. Very cool to learn so much about the cultivation of cacao and fruit trees. Lunch at the farm was delicious! Do prepare for mosquitoes on the hike… wear thick enough clothing that they can’t bite through and a good repellent. Glad we didn’t miss out on this VERY cool opportunity!!

It was a great day. From the pickup until the drop off Yamil kept the whole trip interesting. We learned about this history of Equador and a great deal about chocolate. We went to Cerro Blanca where we got to go on a very nice hike. The trail was easy to navigate and our guide pointed out many interesting plants and wildlife. Afterwards we headed to a chocolate plantation where we got to try some chocolate and then toured the plantation. Lastly we stopped for a wonderful lunch with amazing food. I highly recommend taking a tour with Yamil as I am sure you will have a wonderful time.
