Chocolate Vacations: Belize

Southern Belize has the perfect climate for growing cacao, the fruit that is processed into chocolate. Spend a week at the Cotton Tree Lodge, about 15 miles from Punta Gorda in the Belize jungle, and learn about the history and production of chocolate with a trip to working cacao farms. During dedicated chocolate weeks in March and May, get your hands dirty and discover how to make authentic South American dishes that feature everyone’s favorite bean. Looking for the ultimate dopamine rush? Head to the Toledo CacaoFest in May.
