Visited during our cruise day in port. Path was an amazing tour guide providing not only the history of chocolate but also Mayan/Aztec/Olmec civilizations. The museum spaces are small and it is more about the interaction with your guide so make the most of your time and ask questions. They even had a demonstration of how they made chocolate by hand. Chocolate was delicious, make sure to pick up your favorite before you leave. Note the chocolate they make is small batch and contains nibs, so isn’t smooth like you may be used to. It isn’t bad but does has a different texture so can take you by surprise.

We were warmly greeted by our host, Eduardo, and then were led to a small building to start making our chocolate. Eduardo did a great job of explaining everything, including the significance of cacao to the Mayan culture. After we made our chocolate, we also made chocolate margaritas. Thereafter, we learned more about the spices and other plants in the area. It was thoroughly enjoyable and we learned a lot.

On a sunny day in Cozumel my family and I decided to go to the Mayan cacao company. We had booked a tour the day before. Eduardo/Lalo, our guide was extremely nice and happy. He explained everything wonderfully and answered our questions perfectly. We could not have gotten a better guide. The actual place is really pretty, just as a rainforest. With lots of shade to hide in on a sunny day and lots of different plants to look at. There were also some parrots to look at. At the end of our guided tour Eduardo helped us actually make chocolate which was a wonderful learning experience. If you are ever in Cozumel don’t hesitate to book a tour and chocolate workshop!

We did the Chocolate and Margarita Experience at the Mayan Cacao Company. It was amazing. The tour started off with our guide Angel giving us some history on Mayan culture and what chocolate meant to them. Then we go to sample some of the best tortillas we have ever had. After that we got to make our own chocolate bar and then craft in a blender a chocolate margarita. Angel was an awesome guide and we never felt rushed. It was a 5 star experience that we will do again on our next trip to Cozumel.

My husband and I recently took the Cozumel Land and Sea tour through Norwegian Cruise Line and I must say we were not disappointed! The Mayan Cocoa Company was absolutely wonderful! From our guide Jocelyn, Paty and our driver Juan were all just great! Throughly enjoyed this experience and would HIGHLY recommend!

Paty was our tour guide, She was very informative on the Mayan culture. She made choclate from beans while we watched and we got to taste it and several other wonderful flavors. Also taste Mole for the first time and it was delicious. This was a very interesting and fun tour. I loved the bee! And the history of my favorite food... Chocolate!
