Capital of organic cocoa, famous for its green plains and the joyful spirit of San Francisco de Macorís.
Prepare your palate for the best chocolate of your life! 🌟 A paradise of perpetual greenery that awakens the senses of any nature and gastronomy enthusiast.
The Duarte province, led by the bustling San Francisco de Macorís City Hall, is undisputedly the agricultural engine of the Cibao Northeast. Globally celebrated as the "Capital of Organic Cocoa," its fertile lands and humid climate sustain enormous plantations that invite you to explore the famous Cocoa Route. Here, agro-ecological tourism combines with the warmth of its people and a surprisingly active urban nightlife.
💡 The Go Visit Tip: Make sure to book in advance if you want to take the Cocoa Trail tour. Do not leave without trying the "cocoa wine" (fresh juice from the cocoa mucilage), a sweet and exotic drink that you can only taste directly on the farms before the seed ferments.
