Cacao Farm and Making Chocolate

We left Umaya Resort in Placencia to head back toward Belize City and get closer to the airport. Today, Tuesday, is our last real day.  Wednesday is a travel day. We made the most of our day!

Tuesday morning was all about organic Mayan chocolate making from beginning fruit on the tree to the finished delicious dark chocolate.

The afternoon will be in the next post.
