Spiritual Journey to Venezuela 2025
Dive deeper into your connection with the spirit of cacao.
Travel with us to Venezuela in January 2025
Sowing, harvesting, fermenting, drying and processing the cocoa fruit into ceremonial cocoa.
Working in the ceremonial forest, cacao ceremonies, hikes & boat tours, beach, culture, chocolatier workshop, as well as making your own ceremonial cacao mass can be part of our journey.
In the deep forests, surrounded by the magic of nature, we meet to feel the essence and the authentic relationship with cacao.
We come into connection with Mother Earth, our ancestors, all beings and ourselves.
Moments of unity and awareness - the magic of life.

Optionally, we would be happy to help you organize and experience a trip to Tepui, the oldest mountain range in the world.
It is also possible to travel together to Colombia and Ecuador, to other cocoa and medicinal plant locations.
A possible cost structure could look like this:
It's important to note that all price estimates are subject to change. Venezuela has highly fluctuating inflation rates, and in particular, we all have different needs.
We share with you the average from last year, which can change at any time.
Our idea and the options and organizations directly associated with us remain the same.
333€ for the Macuro project as a donation
333€ for the organization
These energy balances also include:
Cacao ceremony in the forest
Water ceremony
Boat trips
Hikes
Workshops and the experience of the complete process of accompanying the cocoa from the fruit to the cup
.... and above all the invaluable support on site from Marlene and Luca, who accompanied us with love and humor, helped with the organization and made this trip possible.
Our estimate for accommodation, meals, transport (buses, taxis if necessary, ferries, etc.) and the like is approximately €700 per person.
If you'd like to take the Tepui tour (we highly recommend it), we're happy to help you with recommendations for tour agencies, bookings, etc. Last year, this tour cost us $900 per person.
You can find information about the tour here: here .
You can compare flight prices at www.skyscanner.com, for example.
Currently, return flights cost around 700 euros.
It is important to note that unforeseen costs can always arise and we will, of course, share these with everyone.
(Example from a previous trip: there is no more fuel for the ferry. This means that the ferry cannot sail. Which in turn means that another option, such as a fishing boat, can be found and paid for.)
We ask for your understanding that the 2x 333€ must be transferred in advance.
