Chocolate Magic - So much fun! My husband and I booked the workshop during our trip to Lima. We had a great time learning about chocolate. We also made chocolate bars and took them home for our family to try! Our instructor was so kind and passionate about chocolate which made the workshop even better! I highly recommend this workshop if you're in the area as it close to Parque Kennedy and Miraflores.

Family fun activity - This was a fun activity for the family. Kids obviously enjoyed the end where they got to make their own chocolate bars, but it was enjoyable to work through the process of harvesting/grinding the chocolate beans to make drinks as well.

Interesting but unsanitary - The workshop itself was very informative and interesting. We got to try different chocolate drinks throughout history and learn about how chocolate has evolved. You get to see the process of preparing cocoa and participate in the steps. You also do get to make your own chocolate bar to take home. The instructor was personable and made the workshop interesting. However, the workshop is held in an open air souvenir market, which is quite chilly in the winter and a bit distracting. Additionally, there was a complete lack of regard for sanitation and hygiene. There was no opportunity to wash hands before preparing the chocolate bars, the tools were touched with unclean hands and not washed before being used to handle chocolate. During our workshop, cocoa beans were being picked up from the ground and added back into the mixture for consumption. While the water was boiled, the cocoa itself was not boiled so this would not have killed any bacteria that may have been present. I asked for my chocolate bar mold to be washed and this was taken like a weird request. The cups used for drinking chocolate also did not seem to be new or freshly cleaned. Overall, the workshop was interesting but severely lacking in sanitation and would greatly benefit from better food safety practices before someone falls ill.
