Cacao Travel Group
-Our Journey-
Founded in Venezuela over three decades ago by Bernd Kroening, Cacao Travel Group emerged as one of the region’s pioneers in expeditions and nature-based travel. Built on a deep respect for Latin America’s extraordinary biodiversity and cultural heritage, the company quickly earned a reputation for crafting journeys that go beyond tourism — offering immersive, authentic encounters with both nature and people.
Throughout its evolution, Cacao Travel has remained faithful to its founding principles: personalized service, cultural sensitivity, and a genuine commitment to environmental stewardship. From the lush jungles and remote lodges of Venezuela to the vibrant ecosystems of Panama, the company has consistently showcased the true spirit of tropical adventure with elegance and precision.
In 2008, we expanded this vision to Panama, founding Cacao Travel Panama, now a family-run enterprise that continues to embody the same values of authenticity and excellence. Today, Cacao Travel Panama curates bespoke experiences across the country — from pristine coastlines and mountain retreats to indigenous encounters and eco-adventures — always with an emphasis on quality, sustainability, and meaningful connection.
Cacao Travel Group stands as a bridge between continents and cultures — a legacy of passion for discovery, carried forward by a family dedicated to showcasing Latin America’s most captivating landscapes and stories.
