Chocolate
Nichole_P, October 2026
We did this class because we had nothing to do. Honestly it was a weird class and there’s so much more to do in Cusco so unless you are extremely bored I wouldn’t do this. The class is at the museum which is free so maybe just a visit to the museum would be good to learn about perus chocolate industry.

Fun chocolate workshop
A-Bychkova, October 2026
This was a fun workshop learning about all the stages of chocolate making. I liked how interactive it was, and I left having eaten so much chocolate and learned a few things. It wasn’t super cheap compared to some other experiences, but I’d still recommend.
