Maison du cacao

The Maison du Cacao features exhibits detailing cocoa cultivation, chocolate production processes, and demonstrations of traditional manufacturing techniques in a Caribbean setting.

Established in 1993, the museum revived cocoa production in Guadeloupe after its disappearance, highlighting the historical importance of cocoa as a luxury commodity.

The museum connects visitors with Caribbean agricultural traditions through guided presentations, tastings, and demonstrations of local chocolate-making methods.

Located one hour from main tourist areas, the museum operates Monday to Saturday with tours at 10 euros for adults and 5 euros for children.

Visitors can participate in chocolate-making workshops at the Gwakako facility, creating their own chocolate bars using local ingredients and traditional methods.
