Getting to this cacao is a bit of an adventure!
Getting to this cacao is a bit of an adventure! To discover it, you have to reach the Bajo Mira area, from Tumaco Island in Colombia. In 2022, Tumaco Island produced 3200 tonnes of cocoa, out of the 62,000 tonnes produced in Colombia.
Bajo Mira, with its jungle, mangroves and cocoa plantations, can be reached in two ways: by road or via the Rio Mira river. Small boats carry everything the jungle has to offer. The forest is an unlimited source of fruit and biodiversity.
Everything produced in Bajo Mira must then be transported to the island of Tumaco to be sold: wood, cocoa, papayas, mangoes, yuccas, coconuts, medicinal plants...

In Colombia, a group of houses or people living in community at the end of the same road is called "Vereda". It is in the Vereda of El Descolgadero that we found strategic partners: Leonardo Rodriguez, leader of the community and our guide thanks to whom we were able to navigate on the river. We embarked to collect cacao from old plantations in a tropical abundance, proving the resistance of the cacao tree in a lush environment. Leonardo shares with us the intricacies of transporting the beans down the river to the fermentation and drying center. These beans are selected on site and stored for a short time, then trucked to Cacao Hunters' warehouse in Popayan where conditions are ideal. There we perform a final quality control before shipment.
