Chocolate Museum (ChocoMuseo)

 

Located in the heart of the city, the museum offers a hands-on experience where you can learn about the entire chocolate-making process, from the cocoa bean to the final delicious product. The museum's exhibits provide insight into the history of chocolate, tracing its origins from the ancient Mayan and Aztec civilizations, who valued cocoa beans as currency and used them to prepare ceremonial drinks.

At ChocoMuseo, visitors can participate in interactive workshops where they can make their own chocolate. You'll have the unique opportunity to grind cocoa beans by hand, just as the Mayans and early Spanish conquistadors did, and prepare traditional chocolate drinks using ancient recipes. These drinks were often flavored with spices like chili and vanilla, offering a taste of how cocoa was consumed centuries ago. 

Whether you’re a chocolate enthusiast or a history lover, the ChocoMuseo offers an unforgettable, immersive experience into the world of chocolate.
