You will learn and make the most historic drinking chocolate once enjoyed by Mayan kings as well as European conquistadors!

We are a small chocolate maker located in a lovely Kaqchikel village called San Antonio Aguas Calientes, known for its beautiful weaving.
You are invited to our house & factory and will get to know not only about chocolate making but also our culture and daily lives in the village.

In this workshop you will enjoy:

1. Interactive Powerpoint presentation where you will learn 5000 years of its history, Mayan culture, pre-columbian recipes, ancient & modern chocolate making tools, our own chocolate making process and more.
2. Tasting during the presentation: Guatemalan premium organic Criollo cacao from different regions, chocolate to eat vs to drink, ground cacao and its derivatives, dark vs white chocolate and more, right from our factory.
3. Roast and peel cacao on a traditional clay comal, then prepare cacao husk tea.
4. Grind cacao with an ancient Mayan grinding stone (metate).
5. Prepare hot chocolate with a traditional molinillo whisk.
6. Personalize your cup with more than 10 pre-columbian and modern condiments.
7. The 1 Hour Express Workshop includes only #3 to #6 while the 2 Hour Full Workshop includes all the steps.
