The Experience
Discover the essence of Maya culture with our premier family-friendly chocolate making experience. This immersive journey through the heart of Southern Belize takes you from the shade of the cacao groves to the warmth of the chocolate kitchen.
Start your day with an educational walk through a lush cacao farm near Placencia and Hopkins, where you will learn how the 'food of the gods' is grown and harvested using sustainable methods. Your expert guide will reveal the secrets of fermentation and drying that give Belizean cacao its world-renowned flavor. Then, transition into a hands-on workshop to master the traditional bean-to-bar process. You will personally grind roasted beans on a stone metate, mixing in natural ingredients to create your own decadent treats. It is an interactive cultural adventure perfect for foodies and families exploring the beauty of Southern Belize.
