A Very Sweet Experience
My family and I just participated in the chocolate making experience at the Chocomuseo in Cusco. We were a party of 7 and it was our last day of our trip. We had a late flight and were looking for something to do so we decided to pay them a visit. I will be honest I was not expecting much but I was definitely wrong in that assumption. It was an absolute wonderful experience. Besides learning a lot about chocolate it was a very hands on experience which made it a whole lot of fun. We each got a turn in roasting the coca beans and peeling them, and then we all ground our own beans down. Not only did we get to taste different chocolate teas and hot chocolate we also got to make our very own chocolate molds. Our chocolate instructor was very sweet and funny- she made the class extremely fun and enjoyable.
Chocomuseo is located right off of Plaza De Armes which makes it very convenient and the price you pay for the class is not expensive at all and includes so much. I would definitely recommend a trip in. They also have a chocolate store with a large assortment of chocolate products at very reasonable prices.

Great Tour, Excellent Chocolate
An excellent experience and tour.

Our guide, Tania Paucar, was amazing. Her knowledge of the chocolate-making process was beautifully shared as she explained not only the bean-to-bar process, but also the manufacturing steps we were observing at the site.

The chocolate here is the best I have ever tasted. My favorite is the white chocolate with coca leaf.

Be sure to stop and experience the Choco Museum. You will be very happy that you did.

(PS...you can buy some chocolate for the trip home....just sayin')

Excellence in atmosphere, staff and generosity
Couples
My girlfriend and I stopped in here on a whim and ended up staying for a half hour. We got a wonderful tour in English from Javier who was really knowledgeable about all things chocolate and answered every question we had. They’re really generous with their samples and you can tell their intentions are to get you excited about Peruvian chocolate, which definitely ended up happening. This is totally worth doing in Cusco!

Great shop but a shame about the cafe!
Couples
We visited here a few days ago and bought a few bars of chocolate for gifts. The shop was great and we enjoyed the chocolate, so we decided to return this morning for coffee and cake.
We arrived and no one was around so we asked the shop host and he said to take a seat in the cafe. We found ourselves menus and decided what we wanted and still no one approached us. We waited around 10/15 minutes whilst sat in the cafe. Multiple staff members doing the workshops saw us, but no one came over, so we left and went to another coffee shop (which was great!). Such a shame as we were looking forward to a hot chocolate and had specifically returned!

Amazing chocolate fondue
Couples
We visited the museum and cafe . Cafe had great food and we ordered the chocolate croissant and fondue which were both amazing . Staff at the museum were not pushy at all and offered lots of samples to try . Loved the balcony at the cafe too ! We were there for a couple of hours .

Double Yum
Went with a small group (part of our Intrepid tour). Yummo. History lesson, bean tasting, chocolate tasting, make your own hot chocolate, rest while sipping, buy treats, regretfully leave!!! Great experience!

Disappointing
Couples
We booked the bean to bar workshop months ago and paid in advance. When we showed up they had no record of our booking. We showed them our confirmation and they still made no effort to accommodate us. It was bought for us as a present so it was really disappointing.

Great options if you love chocolate
We visited the museum without enrolling in an activity. You need a double mask to enter currently, they do sell them there. The museum is free to enter. It is more of a store than a museum. They offer tastings and a wide variety of very tasty products. We bought chocolate, liqueur, teas and a spread. Everything was delicious and the staff was very friendly and helpful.

Very good and fun
We really enjoyed the class fun and delicious. We are lucky to be the only ones in the class: so we got to take our time and ask lot of questions. We also liked the variety of chocolate-related items for sale in the store.
