The central Colombian region of Meta is known for its beautiful landscapes, extraordinary sunrises, and sunsets. Located east of the Colombian Andes, Meta is characterized by its vast grassland plains, "Los Llanos," which extend between the isolated mountain range of Serranía de La Macarena in the southwest and the Eastern Ranges of the Andes to the west. This land of rapid-flowing rivers and dramatic waterfalls, "llanera" music, and hard-working cowboys ("llaneros"), is where we source the best cocoa beans for this chocolate bar.

Here, the alluvial plains and fertile foothills of the Andes merge into mountainous landscapes crossed by the Arauca, Meta, and Casanare rivers.
