Dominican Republic
El Sendero del Cacao
Discover the secrets of chocolate at this lush plantation.
About
If you love chocolate, the El Sendero del Cacao is ready to let you in on the secrets of your favorite sweet. On a guided tour, you’ll learn the entire process behind making chocolate, from planting to extracting, fermenting, and drying the seeds before they’re turned into delicious treats, with demonstrations for each part of the process. You’ll also learn about cacao’s ecological and economic importance in the Dominican Republic - plantations do make up 10% of the green land after all! And, of course, what would a cocoa tour be without samples, starting with some fresh cocoa, and ending with your own chocolate bar. After the tour, make sure to take the time to peruse the gift shop to stock up on traditional bolas de cacao (chocolate balls used to make hot chocolate) and refined bar chocolates of every strength.

Frequently Asked Questions
If you have any questions, here are the answers.
Daytrip is a platform that connects you with local drivers who will transport you door-to-door, from one city to the next. We also give you the opportunity to explore sights/attractions along the way. We drive, you discover.
All Daytrip bookings are one way. If you need a return trip on a different date, simply book this as a separate one-way trip. For a same-day excursion, please request a custom trip. If you plan to stay more than a couple hours, we still recommend booking two one way trips so you're not paying a driver for waiting.
For Daytrip’s private service, you can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before departure. For the Daytrip Pool shared shuttle, we offer 3 ticket options when booking: Non-refundable, Flexible with cancellations 24-hours before departure, and Super-flexible with cancellations up to 15-minutes before departure. While you can cancel your booking for a full refund up to 24 hours in advance, changes requested under 36 hours are subject to driver availability, especially in the high season.
Simply choose your origin and destination via our homepage and enter your departure date and time. Browse and add sightseeing stops along the way by following the booking instructions provided on screen. It's a simple, easy, and fun way to book your next adventure! And if you don’t see your desired route on our website, you can request a custom trip. You can even book without knowing your exact pick-up or drop-off address - we let you add these later!
