10/10 Definitely Recommend - This was an amazing excursion! Our tour guide Eduardo explained everything so well and he was really able to give us a better understanding of the Mayan history behind cacao. Not to mention, it was so much fun to be able to make my own chocolate! This is a must do when in Cozumel.
