Great experience! Shamira is so knowledgeable about the history of Mexico and the how the use and importance of chocolate has evolved throughout the world over time. She also took us through an amazing tasting of the artisanal chocolate she has curated - many of them have won the Cacao of Excellence award multiple times! Highly recommend making time for this during your time in Tulum

This experience was so much fun. We felt welcome the moment we arrived. Our hosts knowledge of chocolate and it's history and connections around the world were fascinating but the star of the show was the variety of chocolates we were able to experience. My husband and I had so much fun and left with a variety of chocolates ( for purchase) to enjoy when we got home. Highly recommend!
