Our favorite place in Villa de Leyva (maybe in all of Colombia?) was the Museo de Chocolate. It was heaven. Really, we all loved it. In fact, Leo made the effort to come back more than once, just to buy more chocolate.
So much chocolate!!!! And the museum is free if you purchase chocolate. Win/win.
The kids had blast taking photos in these, if you can't tell.
Chocolate confections everywhere. Our favorite was of course the dark chocolate with chocolate nibs in it.
Who wouldn't smile coming here.
Princesses greeted you with baskets to shop with.
A Willy Wonka chocolate fountain--sort of, that's chocolate beer.
Giant chocolate egg. Why not?
Pestals for grinding chocolate a la the indigenous tribes. I wish I would have bought one.
And all the chocolate is made in house. SO delicious!!!!
We're definitely chocolate royalty.
Chocolate pots.
And more chocolate pots.
And again I have no idea if any of these are actually based on real artifacts but they certainly look it.
There's the stone pestals.
And all the wooden stirring spoon-ish things. I do have some of those.
Giant golden cocoa bean. Why not?
These were wooden pestals for processing the beans.
And grinding up the beans. That was cocoa beans in there. Smelled so good.
I liked the chocolate Man of La Mancha.
Yes, must pose with the beer.
This was in the restaurant part. We didn't actually order anything, just wandered through.
Angel wings are really a major theme of this whole trip. There's a lot of them.
Giant chocolate pot. Love it.
The view from the second floor was gorgeous.
Good times. Delicious times. I want to go back.
