If you can only do one day trip from Medellín, take this tour. Oscar is a fabulous guide and Sandra and Alicia are a very gracious mother/daughter team that opens their house and farm to visitors. It's a hands on tour, from picking the cacao pods to roasting and grinding the beans and making your own chocolate bars with custom flavors. It's a much shorter ride than going to Guatapé, and you still get the sense of the mountains outside Medellín. Their farm is also filled with coffee trees, and various fruit trees and flowers. Lots of birds too! One of the most authentic tours we've ever been on, and we have visited dozens of countries. Don't hesitate to book it!
