If you are frightened of heights then you might want to skip the tour of the farm because there are narrow paths on the edge of hills and one narrow bridge that was difficult to cross (they helped me). The whole process of making chocolate was explained (very similar to coffee) and you get to make your own custom chocolate to your specifications. Not bad!
Yula is a world traveler and has spent a lot of time in the U.S. and Europe so she was very knowledgeable about cultures outside of Colombia and has plenty of interesting stories and advice to share.
