At the end of a small runway the Greytown airport stands out with its bone white facade surrounded by lush unending green forest. From these forests only what is needed is harvested. 

Ripe coconuts eventually fall to the ground. Although convenient, this fall fractures the shell so Coco Licor coconuts are carefully harvested from the palms by local farmers before reaching maturity. Using a long wooden pole fitted with a metal hook each coconut is carefully selected and caught. Every coconut has a thick fiberous outer shell called a husk. Once harvested this husk must be removed using a metal pike resembling the tip of a spear. Once removed, a hairy coconut shell remains. These are then piled high into pangas (canoes) and sailed to us using one of the many rivers that connect each community.

An interconnected patchwork of coconut plantations stretch from Greytown up to Bluefields and across the cays past El Bluff leading up to the Corn Islands. 

Through maturity the sweet water & thin white flesh of the young coconuts is replaced with a thick flavorful white coconut meat. It is from this meat Coco Licor extracts its rich flavor.
