While small, this museum is really worth your time to visit given its comprehensive exhibits about Mayan textile, festivals, and their presences in Guatemala. The presentations include videos, exhibits, and figures. We learnt a lot about the Mayan textiles more than anywhere we visited in Mexico.

The private one on one class given by Estelle is great. She made it easy to learn and understand even if my knowledge in Spanish is very limited. She was also very caring and patient. And Danielo was also very nice and professional. Well worth the experience. Thank you!

We got quite an education about coffee. It was amazing to go out to the large patio and walk on the coffee beans. We threw them in the air and some of the group made coffee bean angels. Later we went into the shop for tasting. They say to try the coffee without sugar and cream to taste the flavor, They do not sell decaf. Also sold is chocolate. I got a 16 oz round disc for hot chocolate in a decorative bag for a gift.

Cacao and chocolate museum in Antigua, Guatemala. Learn about the history of cacao, the cacao tree and cacao in Guatemala. ChocoMuseo has its own artisanal chocolate factory which makes chocolate from organic Guatemalan cacao beans. ChocoMuseo also offers chocolate workshops to make your own chocolate. A unique experience for the whole family.

The museum itself is quite small, only about two rooms. The areas for the chocolate-making and cooking classes are in the center. The instructor, Orlando, taught a class about 90-120 minutes long that included learning the history of chocolate, making chocolate bars, and preparing (and tasting) several kinds of chocolate drinks. I had a great time, and it seemed to be a hit with everyone from preschoolers to grandparents.

In 1538, the first Dominican friars of the "Orden de Predicadores de Santo Domingo de Guzmán" arrived in the "Capitanía General de Guatemala", establishing the "Iglesia y Convento de Santo Domingo". It was one of the most important Roman Catholic convents of the Americas in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries. The baroque two-towered building with fantastic ten bells, filled with rich objects and holy relics, was destroyed by the earthquakes of 1773. Its ruins remained abandoned for many years. Centuries later, they were somehow restored and house, today, an awesome complex of museums. Through the ancient walls, brick archways, old crypts and tile corridors, the treasures of "Casa Santo Domingo" are on display: pre-Columbian Mayan art, ceramics, religious objects, silver and glass wares, old pharmacy articles ... plus paintings, sculptures, colonial furniture and archaelogical findings. Art and history. Unmissable! Enjoy!
