AJAW CHOCOLATE
Experience traditional Mayan chocolate making. This is not a factory--we're talking stone grinding actual cacao beans and hand-crafting them into the original hot chocolate drink, just as the ancient Maya would have enjoyed it. Try your hand at the grind stone, add your own spices just as the Maya did, and learn about this amazing gift of nature and the traditions of the first people to cultivate it.
Owned and operated by the Choco Family, Ajaw (Mayan for elite) offers an authentic chocolate making experience for all ages while promoting the Mayan culture.
