A JOURNEY OF FLAVORS
Mayak was not born to sweeten the palate, but to awaken memory. Each bar is an edible manuscript, echoing civilizations that once spoke to the stars, the corn, and the cacao. Within its lines of flavor, stories ferment — shaped by the hands of women who craft the packaging, the strokes of local artists, and the tropical fruits that whisper forgotten songs. Chocolate ceases to be mere indulgence and becomes a threshold — where the past leans in, the land speaks, and craftsmanship reclaims its place amid the noise of sameness.
In Roatán, Mayak is a library without shelves — a place to learn by tasting. It is not a store, but a living museum. The walls murmur myth. A guide recounts the cacao’s journey, from Maya temples to the stone drum where it is reborn. Stepping inside is to enter a centuries-old conversation, where each visitor — perhaps unknowingly — leaves changed: with a new flavor on the tongue and a quiet spark kindled in the mind. Because at Mayak, cacao is not sold. It is told.
OUR STORYmayak
It all began with a journey — not just any journey, but one of those rare moments that shift something deep within. Our founder, an Argentine with a nomadic soul and an great curiosity, arrived in Honduras unaware that cacao — that silent fruit of the rainforest — was waiting for him like a sacred oracle. Back home, chocolate was just a finished product. Delicious, but stripped of mystery. Here, in the heart of Mesoamerica, he discovered something radically different: chocolate as seed, story, and ritual. When he learned about its sacred connection to the Maya, something lit up inside him.
A Story Rooted in Wonder
Without clear answers, he became a student. He studied books, obscure online forums, and visited distant lands. He learned through trial and error — roasting, blending, fermenting. His kitchen became a lab, and so, Mayak was born — not as a business, but as an act of love: a relentless attempt to share an ancient story through flavor.

Our Missionmayak
At Mayak, we exist to safeguard stories that once traveled by whisper, seed, and flame. Our mission is to revive the sacred essence of cacao — not as a commodity, but as a vessel of memory, identity, and belonging. We honor the ancestral knowledge of the Maya, weaving their legacy into every bar we create. Through flavor, we retell what history tried to silence: the wisdom of the land, the artistry of forgotten hands, and the dignity of those who cultivate both. We walk slowly, like time over fire, to ensure that every bite becomes a moment of learning — and every taste, a quiet act of cultural restoration.
More Than Chocolate
Step into our Roatán store and discover a living museum of cacao. Here, chocolate is a conversation. Guided tastings, storytelling tours, and immersive encounters connect visitors to the land, the people, and the timeless ritual of making and sharing.
This catalog is just a glimpse into the world of Mayak. While only a curated selection is online, our store in Roatán offers a full sensory library of flavors — from fiery chile, tamarind, and ripe banana to ancestral infusions like gifiti, and collaborations with local stout beer. Each bar is an award-winning creation, born from tradition and crafted as a story: every ingredient chosen with intention, every bite layered with origin and meaning.
