interesting to while away a few hours if you are in the city with nothing on. I will not make it a destination.

The place is up some back stair but well marked. When you enter; your nose is assaulted by the wonderful smells of chocolate. Their hot chocolate is wonderful! You can enjoy the posters about chocolate, sit in comfy chairs or sit at a table on the balcony. You also can sign up for a time; it does have a fee... More

Small but cute museum in Cusco, explaining the origin of chocolate. Wish I had known they also had chocolate-making workshops before! But you can always buy some delicious chocolates to take home.

We discovered this place while walking around Cusco and we had heard other tourists talking about it. We did a chocolate cooking class which was really great! totally worth doing! and a very nice place to relax in as the sun is setting over Cusco! We loved this place!

They have a lot of features that we didn't take advantage of, including making your own chocolates, but even without doing that, we had a great time! Its a good place to learn about chocolate and try fresh, unprocessed coco beans. Also, they have a chocolate tea that is made from toasted coco husks alone and we all bought some!

Hard to find but worth the time if you like chocolate. It's on the 2nd floor of a small off the main road little plaza. Chocolate tea...delicious.

I didn't get a chance to take one of their workshops, but the hot chocolate I had (while enjoying the view from the balcony) was delicious! The owner was very friendly and came over to chat with us. The museum was interesting and informative. We were even offered a free sample of chocolate tea when we entered!

My wife and I were in Cusco at the beginning of May 2012 and had a free afternoon. We decided to take the chocolate making workshop at the Choco Museo. There is really a lot of information here - the history of chocolate cultivation and use, the various types of cacao plants, and the process of turning cacao pods into... More
