Chicao
[Chicao (https://www.facebook.com/chicaochocolate/) is a small tourist farm around the Silanche River, near Puerto Quito, on the slopes of the Andes that descend to the Pacific coast. They use agroforestry, that is to say the cultivation of cocoa in the forest, in order to enrich their chocolate with the aromas of the woods. Chicao is also a center for the study of arriba cocoa, and is sometimes visited by local and international universities and colleges. The name Chicao comes from a beautiful yellow bird of the cloud forest, the black and gold oriole.
