Make your own Mayan Chocolate from scratch!

  Need to start off saying that Stephanie at the factory is awesome. Booked this tour as different experience while in Cozumel on a cruise. Easy to hold a... read more spot online, and recommend since they have limited space due to Covid. Was an $11 taxi ride for 4 people to the factory. The factory was different as it is also part of the owners home so the downstairs was the factory. But was interesting to see a small factory that was making chocolate that we were seeing in all the ports of call.

When we got there the only issue was that we had forgotten to adjust for the time change and were an hour late. Our fault, not there's. But Stephanie was amazing, she was able to still work us through the tour and have us make the chocolate. This was neat as it not only explained the process but also gave as a variety of souvenirs to bring home.

Afterwards they have a small gift shop and then they call, or in our case the taxi waited, for a ride home for you.

So we did the tour as we wanted a simple tour for Cozumel and didn't want to spend the entire day on the beach. Would have liked to have maybe been able to explore more of the area around the factory but not sure if there was much to do in that area as it wasn't designed for tourism but hope that as the tour expands the area gets some more shops.

Lastly, Stephanie was a good guide and even made sure to include our traveling armadillo into the fun as well.

  Our tour guide, Stephanie, was the best! It was obvious that she loves her job and she made sure we enjoyed every minute of our tour. She took us through... read more the process of making chocolate from cacao beans to chocolate bars. We tasted a typical hot chocolate drink and made our own individual chocolate bars. There was a variety of products available to purchase in their store and we loaded up before we left. This tour is our favorite tour of the island.

  This was a fun little experience learning about how chocolate is made and a bit about the history of Mayan chocolate making. Stephanie was very knowledgeable and charming and made... read more the experience fun. The chocolate will not be for everyone as it's different to most chocolate you buy now which is full of milk, sugar, palm oil and other additives. This is pure, genuine chocolate made from the bean without anything added apart from natural flavourings and a bit of sugar. We thought it was absolutely delicious and the best chocolate we've ever tasted! We spent a small fortune buying a load of chocolate in the gift shop to take home for souvenirs, which we then started eating as soon as we got back to our hotel! Haha! 😀

  Loved this quick informative stop.

Loaded us up on tasting lots of different types and flavors of chocolate.

Short but well done.

  Stephanie was an amazing guide as we learned a ton about the chocolate making process. We tasted several flavors and got to make our own chocolate to take with... read more us! Would highly recommend this experience.

  We got Emmanuel for our $5, 20 minute chocolate tasting. He was wonderful. We didn’t have a reservation. Just woke up and decided to give it a try. It was... read more really fun! We enjoyed learning how the chocolate is made. I absolutely recommend doing this. We may do the full tour next week since the tasting was so much fun.
