Taste handmade Guatemalan chocolate in San Juan del Obispo, learn cocoa’s journey, make a bar, and enjoy hot chocolate for $56.
“It was a wonderful experience with Giovani! Got to see the making of chocolate by hand in a beautiful cottage setting! Had never seen chocolate made by hand on a small scale. We were shown every stage of the making process. Fascinating. Then we Were given their wonderful hot chocolate with warm bread with butter up on the roof top portion of the home. Loved our tour! We got to buy chocolate we tasted to bring home instead of just buying it in shop & have no idea whether it’s good or not. This was the way to experience Guatemala chocolate!!”
Taste four Guatemalan chocolates and prepare a Mayan cacao drink in this private 90-minute Antigua workshop.
“Me and my sister absolutely LOVED this experience making a traditional cacao beverage and tasting delicious local chocolate. If you are staying in Antigua you will not regret adding this to your itinerary. Our guides were so friendly, knowledgeable and made the experience so fun and enjoyable!”
Turn Guatemalan cacao beans into your own chocolate bar in Antigua, with Mayan history, tastings, hands-on work, and Spanish instruction.
“Andrea was very informative and we made chocolate from start to finish doing everything from learning how to sort the beans, roast and shell the beans, to grinding and forming the bars. Even though my husband and I don't speak Spanish well at all, we got by just fine thanks to google translate and some written information she had. Would recommend!”
The volcanoes, the Mayan cities, the lake, and the slow days in between.
