Learn the simple steps to preparing your own personalized cacao drink, and make this ritual part of your daily routine.

On January 4, 2024, we embarked on an exciting journey from Tuqtuquilal to Semuc Champey, winding our way through the majestic mountains that characterize the Q'eqchi' Maya territory. Accompanied by Farahón, Silvia's husband, we had the privilege of being guided through various communities of Lanquín, immersed in the authenticity of the local culture…

As we ushered in the dawn of 2024, Tuqtuquilal embarked on a monumental journey with the initiation of our first cacao purchase. However, Mother Nature had her own plans, and we encountered a slight delay due to climate factors. Nevertheless, undeterred by the challenges, we forged ahead, eager to connect with our partners in the Ratzum Cacao Network.

The regenerative impact of Tuqtuquilal center stems from the three permaculture ethics: Earth care, people care, and fair share.

When you pick up a bar of chocolate or sip a cup of delicious cacao, how often do you think about where it came from? Not just the country or region, but the actual journey, from seed to tree to hands to you.

At Tuqtuquilal, we believe that the story of your cacao matters. And not just for cacao, but for every ingredient you put into your body.
