Pack as lightly as you dare, wear long pants and long sleeves, open your mind to appreciation of distant cultures and get to San Felipe for Juan Cho and his Ixcacao Chocolate. If you're in hospitality this is an incredible experience beyond expectations. If you call yourself a pastry chef or a chocolatier this is a top of the list goal you owe to your profession. Juan is a proud Mayan, a historian, a gifted speaker, author of research papers, a farmer, an exporter, and a first class chocolatier. He is a rock star of chocolate.

The Maroon Creole Drum School's project "Drums Not Guns" directly supports local youth mentor-ship and cultural preservation.
I did a nighttime group drum lesson with dinner provided. The food was great and super accommodating to vegetarians and vegans! Be sure to try the cassava in coconut milk sauce and chickpea stew. The drum lesson was such a cool experience and lots of fun! We watched a performance from one of the instructors and some of the kids that are a part of the Drums Not Guns program, with dancers performing as well.
