Desde el primer momento que te bajas de tren, fue entrar en un oasis. El dueño muy amable nos dedicó unas palabras de bienvenida,.. Empezamos la visita por el camino que te lleva a la zona que recogen el cacao, con las debidas explicaciones de todo el proceso y todo muy bien cuidado. El almuerzo con platos de la zona y los bailes regionales muy bonitos. Puedes comprar subenir, ordeñar una vaca, ver los bonitos caballos. Y me encantó que al final ya para marcharnos todo el personal de la Hacienda incluida sus dueños estaban en fila para despedirnos, todo un detalle...
