YOU MUST DO THIS EXPERIENCE! - Samira was absolutely amazing. She knows her cocoa history really well. I was very impressed with the set up. She provided everything we needed. It was the most fun, educational, delicious experience I’ve had in a while and me and my friends were very happy we had added this to our trip itinerary. It was worth every penny!

Highly recommended group activity! - The tasting experience was wonderful! So educational and the chocolates were absolutely excellent. We experienced new flavors and learned about the history and traditions of chocolate in Mesoamerican culture. I highly recommend this activity if you’re traveling with a group. It will change how you think about chocolate and make you more appreciative of the Mayan culture that has made this treat so special for the world :)

Chocolate Heaven - This is a fun indoor activity. We really enjoyed trying the real, artisanal chocolate - full of flavor. Our guide is a certified chocolate taster and knew quite a bit about chocolate. We had some difficulty finding the location. The place is across the street/diagonal from the Kaanal Tulum condos on Calle 11.
