When you Adopt a Chocolate Tree, you receive:
- A Certificate of Adoption. This certificate acknowledges your important contribution to the future of Ecuador's rainforest and the well-being of its people. The certificate is suitable for framing.
- Yachana Jungle Chocolate. Along with your Certificate of Adoption, we send you two boxes of our delicious Fair Trade Yachana Jungle Chocolate.
- Discounted Jungle Tours. Participants in the Adopt a Chocolate Tree program receive a 10% discount off of the regular price of Yachana Lodge tours during the one year term of the adoption.
