The most magical place in Mijas invites children and adults to delve into the world of chocolate production at the Mayan Monkey chocolate factory.

“Find Happy – Share Happy”: Mayan Monkey is a happiness laboratory, not only because it takes children on a chocolate adventure but all products in the factory are ethically made. 

Almost 70 per cent of the world´s cacao is produced in the Ivory Coast, with exploitative working conditions and child labour. 

Mayan Monkey makes a difference by using ethical methods of chocolate production, creating chocolate right in their factory.

Unmatched with others, Mayan Monkey cares about children´s health and uses no artificial flavours, colourings or preservatives, instead, using 100 per cent biological cocoa.

The factory is festive in every season: not only a dream birthday location, it is an unforgettable Easter experience. 

Magical experiences are awaiting you.
