Description

Discover the soul of Chuncho cacao in a hands-on sensory workshop that connects flavor, culture, and sustainability. Guided by experts, explore all stages of the journey from tree to tablet, starting with fresh cacao fruit and ending with a fine chocolate bar. Smell, touch, and taste cacao in its many forms: fruit, beans, paste, and chocolate with different percentages. Take on the role of a chocolatier and learn to temper and make your own chocolate bar. Customize it with a wide variety of ingredients, from uchuva and quinoa to roasted sacha inchi, Mara salt, tarwi, cañihua, kiwicha, and other local fruits and seeds. This workshop goes beyond flavor. Each bite tells the story of the producing communities of Ivochote, Quillabamba, and Cusco, whose traditions, languages, and farming methods are preserved through cacao. By participating, you support sustainable agriculture, biodiversity, and small Peruvian farmers, while creating a chocolate bar that is uniquely yours. Choose from two times: every day in the morning at 10:00 or in the afternoon at 15:30. After the workshop, take a short walk through the historic center of Arequipa, appreciating its colonial streets and the beauty of the Plaza de Armas.
