February is the month of love! And also the month when you can marry your sweetheart in symbolic weddings. Can you imagine immortalizing your love in a pre-Hispanic wedding at the Chocolate Museum?
The MUCHO opened its doors in 2012 and if you haven’t visited it yet, we have to tell you that you’re missing out on a place like no other.
Here you will learn more about the origins of chocolate and its current state. You will visit 9 rooms dedicated to the history of chocolate, cocoa, its flavors, its industrial manufacturing, its medicinal use and even its use in love!
The must-see? Its chocolate room where you can enter an enclosed space with few people to appreciate the aroma of chocolate.
The Chocolate Museum, also known as Mundo Chocolate Museo (MUCHO) can be visited from Monday to Sunday from 11:00 to 17:00 hours in Colonia Juárez.

What would your pre-Hispanic wedding at the Chocolate Museum be like?
The first thing you should know is that they will only be available during February and only from the 14th to the 17th and from the 21st to the 24th.
Here you will be able to unite with your partner in a symbolic pre-Hispanic wedding where a ritual with cocoa and chocolate will take place, inspired by the legend of Popocatepetl and Iztaccihuatl.
The union will be sealed with chocolate rings made with an original mold from La Cubana, a Mexican chocolatier founded in 1872.
It is important for you to know that they are by prior reservation by writing to educacion@mucho.org.mx, as they are limited capacity, and have a cost of $850 per couple.
The cost of the ceremony includes entrance to the museum, a special guided tour, cocoa grinding in metate, 2 cocoa-based drinks with a jicara, 2 chocolate rings and the symbolic marriage certificate.
