Grind cacao like the Mayans, make a handmade chocolate bar, then taste 13 artisanal chocolates at The Mayan Cacao Company in Cozumel.
“Roberto was absolutely amazing!! He gave us a VIP tour and walked us through the history of the cocoa bean and chocolate! He took additional time and care to respond to every question and diversion we had. It was apparent that he loves what he does, loves the information he was sharing, and we were smiling, laughing and had the best time! Thank you, Roberto, for everything!! We would highly recommend this excursion!”
Taste Mayan cacao at Chocolates Kaokao, learn a bit of village life, sip tequila, then finish with tacos in Cozumel.
“The chocolate event was very informative and a fun interactive event. Had a blast. The Tequila tour was amazing and learned a lot about commercial brands and the absolutely amazing local blue agava regional tequilas you can’t buy around the world. If you want a very smooth sipping tequila this is the place to buy some. Amazing taste and flavors.”

“Paty was a great guide and teacher. She was also a lot of fun. I liked learning more about the Mayan culture and the history of chocolate making”
Private Cozumel hands-on workshop at Tierra Maya: make chocolate, salsa, tortillas, taste Melipona honey and seasonal liqueurs.
“Charlie was an excellent tour guide - the best! We appreciated his flexibility and his vast knowledge of the area and its history. Tierra Maya was an great experience. Each of the four stations taught us something new. Learning about and seeing the Meliponini bees and sampling the honey were a highlight. He taught us enough to know that we need to come back to Cozumel for another visit! We packed a lot into our half day tour and it was wonderful - Cenote (with crocodile), chocolate, east coast beaches and more.”
