Cocoa plantation for an exciting and relaxing walk in Uxmal
Opposite the archeological site, in the heart of a lush forest housing a 2-hectare cocoa plantation, is a fascinating walk.

You can also attend a traditional Mayan ceremony or take part in a workshop to make your own chocolate. Finally, the museum's eco-park is home to a refuge for the region's wild animals. Not to be missed on your visit to Uxmal.

Message from Management
Located in Uxmal, the Choco-Story museum welcomes you to an authentic and historic setting, a former hacienda. You'll discover the history of cocoa, from its origins in the north-western Amazon basin to its arrival in Europe, where chocolate was born. You'll also learn about the cultural and economic importance of this raw material to the Olmec and Mayan peoples. A visit here will give you a deeper understanding of cocoa growing techniques, varieties and preparation processes. What's more, this museum, with its six exhibition rooms, features a traditional Mayan house where you can discover how a middle-class Mayan family lived. Beautiful selections of clothing and utensils are also on display. The site also features a tasting room where you can enjoy chokoj ha, a traditional beverage made from roasted and ground cocoa beans, spiced up with herbs and spices. During a visit to Choco-Story, you can also witness a traditional Mayan ceremony. Take a stroll through the museum's botanical garden and visit the endemic animal sanctuary. A playground is also available on site. A good address for an enriching and enjoyable visit!

Le terrain du musée est suffisamment grand pour que les cages soient plus spacieuses.
Les plantes exposées sont également négligées et en très mauvais état. En général, le musée manque beaucoup d'entretien.
S'il ne prend pas soin des animaux et des plantes, il devrait se concentrer uniquement sur l'histoire du cacao.
Nous avons quitté le musée tristes et en colère.
