Come to San Felipe, a Kekchi Maya village, to meet your host for the day, Juan Cho, is a trained tour guide and also runs his own organic cocoa plantations. Juan sells his beans to the Toledo Cacao Growers Association which ships the beans to Green and Black in the UK where they are used to produce their signature Mayan Gold chocolate bars, Belize's first fair-trade product. You will be taken to visit the plantation on the banks of the Moho river where Juan will explain his organic farming methods and the different seasonal husbandry jobs. Guests may help if they like in the tasks of the day. You will then be taken on a trip in a dory, a local dugout canoe, up the Moho towards Santa Ana village before returning to Juan's home to share a cocoa drink with his family.
