BELIZE
CHOCOLATE EXCURSION
Chocolate is cherished for its sense of
indulgence and aphrodisiac qualities as well as being
the most popular gift between lovers every February 14.
This Valentine’s Day, infuse some exotic travel into
your romantic plans and spend a week “chocolatouring”
in Belize. Earth-focused and socially responsible travel
company Elevate Destinations has a special in-depth
tour of all things chocolate February 13–20, where
you’ll learn the history, politics, and processes
of Fair Trade chocolate making, participate in daily hands-on
workshops, pick cacao, visit local villages and farms,
volunteer with the community (the charitable beneficiary
is Sustainable Harvest International www.sustainableharvest.org),
visit Mayan ruins, explore caves, and plant new cacao
trees. You’ll be based at the Cotton Tree Lodge,
a jungle eco-lodge in Punta Gorda where you’ll have
free time to enjoy horseback riding, kayaking, hiking,
and loads of other active pursuits, or simply laze around
with your love at your thatched-roof cabana on stilts,
preparing for the opulent Valentine’s feast (and
every other great meal). You can guess what’s for
desert. www.elevatedestinations.com
