In an unspoiled corner of southern Belize, Eladio Pop, and owner of 'Agouti Cacao Farm', lives in the tradition of his Maya ancestors: as a steward of the land. The Eladio Pop family providing the tour 'Eladio’s Chocolate Adventure' seeks to preserve and promote the ancient Maya way of life. The farm, in the village of San Pedro Columbia, Belize is located w

ithin sight of the historic Maya temple Lubaantun. Eladio has an amazing knowledge of the symbiotic relationship of the creatures and plants on his farm and speaks passionately about his land and community. Eladio is regarded as a local legend for companion planting and organic farming. CHOCOLATE : Enjoy the Drink of Royal Maya Chiefs, Warriors, and the Elite

AN ANCIENT TRADITION
The Maya learned to grow, harvest, ferment, dry, roast, grind, sweeten, drink and eat chocolate using handmade tools from nature. They created several cold and hot drinks from the cacao beans. Sometimes spices, ground corn and flower petals were added to create a healthy-type of porridge that gave them unequalled strength and stamina. STEP BACK IN TIME AT “ELADIO’S FARM.”
At “Agouti Cacao Farm”, you can go back in time to discover how this ancient culture tended cacao and coffee trees. English-speaking members of a friendly revered Maya family will be your host. They have been growing and making chocolate in the rainforest of Belize just like their ancestors many hundreds of years ago. Agouti Cacao Farm visitors can tour and learn about the Maya history of chocolate and coffee, see the trees, and taste its luscious raw beans from colorful pods. Help to roast and grind nature’s treasure with stone tools by participating in our chocolate or coffee demonstration and enjoy the distinctive flavor of a healthy dark drink enjoyed by only the most elite Mayas when their civilization was young! Make it a day trip with the all-inclusive farm tour, lunch and traditional chocolate making demonstration. Or stay a fews days to relax and fit in the Jungle Hike and River Source Swim Expedition. You live/stay with the Eladio Pop’s family and become a part of their Maya living. You can stay in a guesthouse or bring your own tent and set up at the farm land. The Maya consider cacao as food of the gods, after spending some time with Eladio you’ll have a greater appreciation of why in beautiful Southern Belize. Al a Carte Options (per person.)

We have been blessed to enjoy the many wonders of Mother Nature through farming. From the very beginning life was designed to feed, shelter, grow and heal us through nature until we decided to drift away. It is still not late to come back to it. Cherish your Land while you still have a piece!

My farm may have not burn from the fire but it got burnt by the scorching sun. All 5,000 seedlings all dried up. 2,500 that I have planted out in the field and 2,500 remaining in the nursery that I was suppose to transplant this month. I just got to start all over as you can see here. 🤷‍♂️👨‍🌾
