We saw cocoa plantations in southern Mexico and Belize as well. But in Guatemala this strange-looking little tree is common as a garden plant. It's not the leaves that look surprising, rather its fruits. These American football shaped fruits appear on older branches and on the trunk.
Well, we have to confess that so far we haven't found really tasty chocolates on the American continent. Which is sad, since we both would love it. And when you walk 20+ miles a day, you must afford a luxury like fine chocolates. In Europe we consumed "enormous" quantities of cheap, but tasty tablets of chocolate. And here, we see these beautiful plants all around us, but there's no good chocs anywhere. It's a shame.

Thanks for the information, cocoa plantations are so important because from there we get the delicious chocolates we eat, the photo where you look at the plantations and the worker is incredible because it shows that the work is getting good results
"The worker", haha. These PR spam comments are so damn funny sometimes.
