Finca Duaba
A cacao farm by the Duaba River just outside the city, where you can see how cacao is grown, processed into chocolate, and then taste the results.
Baracoa is Cuba's main cacao-producing region. Finca Duaba lies about 6 km west of the city near the Duaba River and offers guided tours of its cacao plantation. You'll see cacao trees and pods, learn about fermentation and roasting, then taste traditional cacao drinks and handmade chocolate. You can also visit a tropical fruit orchard and enjoy a farm lunch. There is a simple beach at the Duaba River mouth nearby for swimming. Admission is a few CUC, and visits are often combined with trips to El Yunque or the Toa River.
