Chocolate Tour & Mayan Museum

The Chocolate Making Sessions at a Mayan museum offers you the best of authentic Mayan culture. Experience the traditional Mayan way of making chocolate from bean to Bar. Cacao beans are grown by local farmers in Maya Center Village and are certified organic. The trained farmer will give you a detailed explanation and process of how the beans are extracted from the pods, fermented and finally dried and ready to be processed into chocolate. You will roast your own cacao beans on the clay griddle, just as the Mayans did. Making chocolate on the Mayan grinding stone is a lot of fun! Grinding the cacao beans on stone is a magical experience as you witness your chocolate beginning to unfold. Even more exciting is that you get to eat your own chocolate! The tour is highly educational and hands on. You have got to do it!
