Highlights
Created and hosted by the founders of Tierra Mojada, The Mayan Cacao Ritual is an intimate adults-only experience limited to four guests. Every session is personally hosted, creating a personalized journey where you don’t just taste chocolate; you make it yourself. Grind. Discover. Craft. Taste. Your journey begins with cacao beans and a traditional volcanic stone metate. Grind the cacao by hand and transform it into a cacao paste, then use it to craft your own artisan truffles with premium seeds, nuts, and more. Next, indulge in single-origin chocolate fondue paired with traditional Mexican sweets and chili mango. Finish with a chocolate pairing featuring premium Tequila, Mezcal, Wine, and Coffee Liqueur, discovering how different flavors reveal new dimensions in our single-origin chocolate. Prefer an alcohol-free option? Enjoy our cold-brew tea pairing. You'll leave with your own handcrafted truffles, unforgettable memories, and a story to share long after your cruise has ended.

About Costa Maya
Costa Maya is the southern Caribbean coast of Mexico's Yucatán, a quiet shoreline of white beaches and mangroves beside the reef, with Maya ruins inland.
Costa Maya is the name given to the southern stretch of Quintana Roo's Caribbean coast, south of the Riviera Maya and close to the border with Belize. Its shore is a quiet strip of white sand, palms and mangrove, backed by low forest, and the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef runs just offshore. Mahahual, a small seaside village with a long boardwalk, is the main settlement and has a dock for cruise ships. Xcalak, a fishing village at the southern tip, sits beside a protected reef park.
