Description
Welcome to Cacao Center, located in the heart of Puerto Maldonado, is our conservation center, organic coffee shop, chocolate shop and restaurant. In our experience taste fresh exotic fruits from our farm, including cacao fruit!

While you wait for your cacao to harden, make and enjoy pisco sours with us! We will also sample various chocolates from our own house. Finally, go home with your own DIY chocolate bar and a whole new perspective on cacao, most importantly, the relationship between cacao and preservation, and how to use your choice of consumption to change the world of chocolate with us one bar at a time.
