Hacienda La Luz
Hacienda La Luz, one of several local plantations making chocolate from home-grown cacao, is just 300m from Comalcalco’s central Parque Juárez: walk 250m west along Calle Bosada to its end at Boulevard Rovirosa, turn right and you’ll see the hacienda’s white gateposts across the road. The tour takes you round the beautiful house, gardens and cacao plantation, shows traditional methods of turning cacao beans into chocolate, and concludes with a chocolate drink. English is spoken.

Ancient Comalcalco
Comalcalco was at its peak between AD 600 and 1000, when ruled by the Chontals. It remained an important center of commerce for several more centuries, trading in a cornucopia of pre-Hispanic luxury goods: cacao, salt, feathers, deer and jaguar skins, wax, honey, turtle shells, tobacco, chilies, manta-ray spines, cotton, polychrome ceramics, copal, jade and greenstone hachas (flat, carved-stone objects associated with the ritual ball game).
