    What To Expect

    Chocal

    Visit the small cocoa manufacture in the countryside made of cocoa plantations. The best thing about the place is that is local and authentic - you can see here every step of the production, apart of the rich explanation and tasting. So different from the other factories around Puerto Plata, letting you explore the whole building and showing everything. If you like their organic products made from cocoa you can buy them on the spot. By visiting the place you support local community as it's project of the local women.
