The most interesting place I visited this week was the Museo del Chocolate (Chocolate Museum). We learned about the history of making chocolate and the types of machinery that have been used to make chocolate over the years. We saw a lot of animal statues made completely out of chocolate, such as penguins, an Andean condor (one of the world's largest flying birds), a guanaco (which looks like a llama) and a cougar!
