    The pieces were beautiful and the employees were kind and helpful. One of them spoke wonderful English, and they all ensured we were taken care of and understood what was going on. We bought several amber pieces too!

    It’s a small museum but the pieces are truly gorgeous, the posters are vastly informative, and the staff are happy to clear up any doubts. Upon entering the exhibit, a magnifying glass will be offered to you. Don’t pass up the chances to use it! There are pieces with prehistoric organic material that are well worth a close inspection to truly appreciate the pieces’ beauty.

    if you want a diverse selection of ambar this is an excellent choice, the staff is attentive and informed and the ambar diverse and real. warning be careful in san cristobal purchasing ambar from street vendors as it could be fake.... not though at museo del ambar lilia mijangos...

👍👍 A fascinating and delightful insight into cacao and it's history in Meso America. Our tour guide Mayaria gave an exceptional experience, chocolate tasting and answered all our questions. Time well spent, and worth every penny.
