Extraordinary place with personal touch from the presenter Andrea's - Extraordinary place with personal touch from the presenter Andrea's and excellent presentation. If you have around 3 hours in Arequipa it is recommended to book this chocolate class. We were group of 11 and it was really an amazing experience where we learned a lot of information about the coccoa and its usage in the different types of chocolate.

Fantastic Workshop - The whole workshop was great from start to finish. The instructor, Andreas was highly experienced and made the class 10x better. He explained things clearly and always had time for questions. The workshop was very hands-on and I would highly recommend this for a morning activity in Arequipa!

Very pleasant and interesting workshop. - Really recommend this workshop. Found out a lot of things about cocoa and chocolate. Furthermore each of us got the chance to work on his chocolate and experience the process. Andres, our professor was very nice and speaks good English. We were at no moment in a hurry and everybody got to do each step.
