Mayan Cacao and Alebrije
I highly recommend this tour! And will to all I know who are going to Eliu our guide was amazing! So knowledgeable and helpful. And we had two other guides — Angel at the Mayan Cacao Company gave a great demonstration of making the chocolate and at the alebrije painting was another Angel and was also very helpful and patient with me. It was a great day!

Alebrija painting!
It was a lot of fun! Eliu was a great guide and knowledgeable. Just make sure you verify the directions. We used link on viator for directions and it took us to wrong place- completely opposite direction and so we had to pay a taxi to get us there in time since we walked.

Alejibre Painting at Barriecito
We had a fantastic time!!! Roberto was a wonderful guide, sharing history about the art community here in Cozumel and across Mexico. The Barriecito is an amazing facility and well worth the trip. There is so much to do, see, and learn jam packed into this single location.
