Your Cozumel cruise would not be complete without visiting the Mayan Cacao Company, a fantastic place to learn about its Mayan creators and their origins. This interactive experience will help you feel like Dora the Explorer and uncover the history of the most popular food on the planet, chocolate. The parent company Aviomar Adventours who operates The Mayan Cacao Company has been in business for more than 50 years and they are dedicated to helping others enjoy and learn all about their chocolate. Aviomar Adventours helps protect the natural and cultural aspects of their chocolate and production through sustainability. |
The Maya Cacao Company offers 3 different experiences, their General Admission, the Chocolate Workshop, and the Chocolate and Margarita Workshop. You’ll discover how the Mayans used their beans as currency and how only the royalty (priests and emperors) were allowed to drink the chocolate. Make sure to visit the Mayan Hut on the property where you will learn their traditions and techniques used in that region to make chocolate sauce topped with a tortilla. Their auditorium is set up for taste testing where you can experiment with various yummy combinations of honey, chile, along with other natural flavorings. All their chocolate bars are made from cacao beans that are handpicked by Mayan farmers in the deep groves of the Yucatan.
You can enjoy a cold beverage at their bar or grab a cup of coffee from the Coffee Shop. Make sure you stop by the souvenir shop and take some cacao home with you. They have chocolate bars, soaps, lotions, and much much more. You can sample their chocolate flavors before you decide which are your favorites to take home.
There are public restrooms available and the venue is wheelchair accessible. They are located approximately 15 minutes away from downtown Cozumel next to Playa Mia Beach Club. Learn more about Yucatan tours and attractions and cruising Cozumel, Mexico, with Yucatan Cruises.
