Santander is the department with the largest cocoa production in Colombia, producing more than 25% of the country's cocoa. Municipalities such as San Vicente de Chucurí, El Carmen or Rionegro are the main producers.

When visiting any of the cocoa farms in this region you will pass by majestic natural scenery, cocoa forests, rivers, streams, or even the great Topocoro reservoir.
