LIMA | Choco Museo (Plaza de Armas) is a chocolate museum and cafe chain found throughout South America. The museum focuses on teaching customers everything they need to know about cacao and chocolate. This includes the history of cacao from the Mayas until today, the introduction of cacao into Peru and the production and preparation of chocolate.
The museum focuses on fair trade and the sustainable production of cacao, with the philosophy that the seasons, locations and climate will ultimately dictate the taste and texture of each type of product produced. Choco Museo offers workshops regularly for those interested in a hands on experience. Alternatively if you want a more relaxed visit you can taste some of their chocolates, browse their selection of liqueurs, teas and beauty products then finish off with a hot chocolate at their cafe.
I recommend going for the rich, chilli infused Mayan chocolate at the cafe, then grabbing a heavenly smelling cacao beauty soap coffee scrub bar to take home, along with a few of their delicious chocolate truffles.
