Arequipa: Las Rocas Quad Tour & Chocolate Workshop

Explore Las Rocas Ecological Park on a quad tour from Arequipa. Ride through the park, visit a sacred temple, and make your own chocolate bar in a workshop.
Begin your adventure with a pickup from a central location in Arequipa. Head to the Chilina Valley, where your quad bike ride begins. Explore the lush vegetation and the proximity of the Chili River as you ride through the valley.

At the top of the park, see a sacred Huaca (temple) that belonged to the Churajón culture. The temple is a great place to take panoramic photos of the Chilina Valley and the Chili River. After the ride, return to the city center.

In the afternoon, discover the soul of Chuncho cacao in a hands-on sensory workshop that connects flavor, culture, and sustainability. Guided by experts, explore all stages of the journey from tree to bar, starting with the fresh cacao fruit and ending with a fine chocolate bar.

Take on the role of a chocolatier and learn to temper and make your own chocolate bar. Customize it with a wide variety of ingredients, from uchuva and quinoa to roasted sacha inchi, Mara salt, tarwi, cañihua, kiwicha, and other local fruits and seeds.

This workshop goes beyond taste. Each bite tells the story of the producing communities of Ivochote, Quillabamba, and Cusco, whose traditions, languages, and farming methods are preserved through cacao. By participating, you support sustainable agriculture, biodiversity, and small Peruvian farmers while creating a chocolate bar that is uniquely yours.
