The first thing you get to the Mayan pyramids. It is these people we have to thank for such an awesome treat. 1000 years BC, the Maya began to grow cocoa trees. In the museum there is a statue of the god of cocoa, to which the natives prayed during the preparation of this hot chocolate – with honey and spices. “God” is like a little man with cocoa beans, growing out of his head.

You pass by the Mayan pyramids and get to the ship on which the cocoa beans were taken to Europe. On the ship, you are “floating” to the main hall of the museum. It shows an entire history of chocolate in Russia. There is a laboratory in which chocolate recipes were invented.
