Visitors can witness the cacao fermenting and drying processes or trek through the jungles in search of fresh, tropical fruits and the chance to spot wildlife. This is a growing industry that directly supports both the town and the farmers. Kakani leadership are seeking to expand this through partnership with nearby coastal towns.
