The next stop was in a lovely town where we saw how the local women did laundry on the main square, and thanks to Moises I also paid a visit to a small family-owned jade factory and store. I bought lots of chocolate from their store to enjoy at home and with my family and friends- it is excellent. Loved the chocolate factory tour where I observed how the coco beans were roasted, then mixed with other ingredients and finally- made into delicious products. Every stop on the itinerary was fascinating, educational and fun. Moises was my tour guide and Marlon- my driver. They all worked hard, and we wanted to make sure they all got a tip. When tipping, we tipped the tour guide, the driver, and the boat captain separately. I'm not sure why we bother to stop in San Pedro (which gives off a very touristy vibe, way more than the other places) if we only stop there for a few minutes. Note: PM waters are choppy and it's a small vessel, but seats are padded (you will feel some of those bumps for sure, though). Our boat captain (didn't catch his name, unfortunately) was also great-we had the boat to ourselves.

We had 3 stops: San Juan (about 2 hours), San Pedro (like 10 min.), and San Santiago (we ate lunch there and then had about 45 min. Note: the black and white honey were very tasty! We ended up going to a bee farm (stingless bees) and textile demonstration/shop. Nicolas adjusted our tour in San Juan (first stop) when we had told him we had already done a tour of another chocolate company. Our guide, Nicolas, was also great! Super knowledgable and from San Santiago (our last stop). Our driver Marlon was fantastic! Several people in the party spoke Spanish in the van, so we had some great conversation in the car! Excellent communication with tour operator leading up to the trip A group of 12 of us split up into two tours, and we all had a great time!
