This tour is one of our treasures, since this reveals the mystery on the origin that relies on Ecuadorian chocolate.
The highest quality chocolate was born from a rainforest conservation project started in Ecuador in 2007 and through a nonprofit foundation Third Millennium Alliance. 
The chocolate this soil produces comes from the oldest trees which study traced genetics as far back as 5,300 years according Carbon-14 data and the theobromine found in pods by Francisco Valdez, in one of his archeological researches; these kind of trees were thought extinct until the results from this study were revealed, proving their purity reaches the 100%, taking of genotypes, Ecuador is the only country producing cocoa beans at 100% of purity.
