Did you know that the earliest evidence of Mayan chocolate was between 400 and 600 BC??
Discover Mexico’s Chocolate Workshop highlights how important the “cacao” seed was to the Mayans - culturally, spiritually and, even as a currency.
Upon arrival to Discover Mexico Park you’ll relax in air-conditioned comfort as you view Discover Mexico’s exclusive four-screen video collage.
Next you’ll peruse our Museum of Popular Arts, which showcases works of contemporary folk art created by renowned artisans from all over Mexico
Inside our delicious-smelling chocolate workshop - your guides will show you the traditional tools used to roast & mill cacao seeds into real chocolate. After that, you and your partner will have the opportunity to mill your own chocolate bars used to make “chocolhaa” (a delicious and traditional hot cocoa) using traditional methods – including hand-cranked mills, and mortars and pestles. Once you’ve created your very own product, you’ll even be able to wrap and seal it to take back home, with no problem going through Customs. Additionally, you’ll have the opportunity to try chocolate samples, cocoa powder & even our exclusive Chocolate Liquor – all created using the traditional process –, which are available for purchase.
