Perfect for kids!
Great experience and my kids loved it. The class was informative and had interesting toppings available.

Great personalized experience
I tried to book this 3 times through Viator but kept getting declined. So I just walked into the shop this morning and Lisette told me to come back at 3. I was by myself and she usually has at least 2 in a group but she accommodated me. She took me through the history of chocolate and the stages in the process. Along the way we had some chocolate tea and 2 different versions of hot chocolate. We ground cocoa beans to use in the tea and hot chocolate. I was then able to make 12 bon bons with various flavors. I left and came back in 30 minutes and they were ready’ a thoroughly enjoyable and informative experience. Lisette was wonderful.

Must do experience in Ollantaytambo
Such a fun and informative experience! We were surprised how interactive it was and how may forms of chocolate we got to make and try. We loved it so much!

Perfecto!
This class was so fun and educational! We arrived late due to travel delays, and the instructor still let us join, despite the class having started. Eliseth (I'm sure spelled her name wrong, sorry!) was kind, patient, and extremely knowledgeable about the chocolate making process. She started with an explanation about the cocoa plant and how they harvest and dry the beans. Since we missed this part, at the end of class, she stopped us before we left so she could give us the explanation, which she didn't have to do, but because she is passionate about her craft, she wanted us to get the full experience. We made cocoa water, hot chocolate (with the full experience of peeling the beans, grinding them with a mortar and pestle, mixing the hot chocolate ingredients), and at the end you make your own chocolate to take home. She has an extraordinary variety of options to put into the chocolate and you can choose milk or dark. All throughout the class, she gave explanations of what step in the refining process we were currently in as well as the history of how the Aztecs and other tribes used the cocoa bean and how it's evolved into what it today. She gave instructions in both English and Spanish, and readily assisted those who needed help. Class lasted about 2 hours, and then we came back 30 minutes later to pick up our chocolate, which she bagged up for us to take home. So fun (and delicious!).

Great workshop!
Not so much a "museum" - at least at the Ollantaytambo location which is more like a nice chocolate shop - but upstairs where the chocolate workshop is held there are several interesting & informative displays that our host used. We loved getting to roast and grind cocoa beans (bought some so we can make our own fresh hot choc at home!) and taste the true pure bitter chocolate as well as the more refined final product.

Bean-to-Bar Chocolate Workshop in ChocoMuseo Ollantaytambo: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does Bean-to-Bar Chocolate Workshop in ChocoMuseo Ollantaytambo cost?
+
Prices start at $27 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cusco usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Bean-to-Bar Chocolate Workshop in ChocoMuseo Ollantaytambo take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cusco is not rushed.
Is Bean-to-Bar Chocolate Workshop in ChocoMuseo Ollantaytambo worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 10 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Bean-to-Bar Chocolate Workshop in ChocoMuseo Ollantaytambo?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Bean-to-Bar Chocolate Workshop in ChocoMuseo Ollantaytambo suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Bean-to-Bar Chocolate Workshop in ChocoMuseo Ollantaytambo?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cusco can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cusco and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Bean-to-Bar Chocolate Workshop in ChocoMuseo Ollantaytambo start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cusco within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cusco?
+
On Outty we rank every Cusco experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sacred Valley Full Day Tour, Full-Day Humantay Lake Trek (Meals Included), Cusco: Rainbow Mountain & Red Valley Premium Day Trip with Meals. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cusco?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cusco?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Bean-to-Bar Chocolate Workshop in ChocoMuseo Ollantaytambo?
+
Included: Chocolate drinks tasting; All material to make your own chocolates; and 130g of your own handmade chocolates. Not included: Transportation. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
What languages is Bean-to-Bar Chocolate Workshop in ChocoMuseo Ollantaytambo offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Bean-to-Bar Chocolate Workshop in ChocoMuseo Ollantaytambo?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
What happens to Bean-to-Bar Chocolate Workshop in ChocoMuseo Ollantaytambo if the weather is bad?
+
It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Cusco. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
