Cocoa Museum

Choco-Story Uxmal is a museum dedicated to chocolate that is harvested near this archaeological area. It is located in a hacienda nearby the zone of Uxmal. This project was possible thanks to a private effort and that of experts in the world of chocolate.

They have the same purpose of devoting most of their knowledge to show the world the relevance of the Mayans and the Aztecs. The visitor will be able to know the role of the cocoa among the pre-Columbian Mayans either as a currency, tribute, or drink for the nobles.

The tour is enriched with a Chac Chaac ceremony, led by a Mayan priest and a demonstration room where the elaboration of pre-Hispanic chocolate is explained.

Choco-Story Uxmal, the Chocolate Museum, is located at kilometer 78 of the old Merida-Campeche highway in the hotel zone five minutes from the archaeological zone.
