Where it's grown

Cocoa is Bolivia's treasure, growing in the marvelous and forested Alto Beni region. The region is about 60 km from South America's largest Lake Titicaca. In this region, cocoa trees grow in optimal conditions, as the lake acts as a large heat reservoir, providing them with excellent conditions to mature.

Wild cocoa
Cocoa in this area grows naturally in the forests and is nurtured in organic farms. Cocoa farms are scattered along the Alto Beni River, where local people often swim in the river and collect fresh cocoa pods. Due to this special practice, Alto Beni cocoa has been given the name "wild cocoa."
