(20 Oct 2014) LIMA SHOWCASES CHOCOLATE
A museum in Lima is showcasing one of the Andean's sweetest harvests: the cacao.
Visitors at ChocoMuseum can learn about the history of cacao in the Andean regions, and see the chocolate production process.
The museum's shop sells everything from bars to liqueurs, and people can create their own tasty chocolate morsels in the many workshops offered.
Some of the cocoa beans come from places like the Tocache province, where there are thought to be a number of farmers in the process of changing from cultivating coca leaves to producing cocoa.
The museum has branches in Nicaragua, Guatemala and the Dominican Republic.
