1.8 - A visit to the small, but cute Museo de Chocolate. It gives insights to the process of producing cacao and its value, often used as payments for trades and containing enough nourishments to drive armies.
The first image shows the cocoa beans and the name of the cocoa plant in Nahuatl (the aztek language).
The second shows a cocoa immersion room, all walls and the ceiling are covered in cocoa and the smell is intense, but good.
