Alebrije Painting Workshop Inspired by Disney Pixar's Feature Film Coco (CZ95)

8:30 am at Worlds of Marvel

9 am off the ship into a very old and somewhat beat down small bus 15 – 20 min ride

Only 18 people on the port adventure therefore left like a private tour

First stop at Alebrijie 9:45 am arrival with family photos and tour of the area

Went into a small cement room with A/C and windows which was nicely decorated and displayed with Alebrijie

3 tables of tables of 6 spots

Our tour guide went deeply into the tradition and the two kinds of Alebrijie

Next up time to paint with many options of animals that all already had a base coat of paint on them with a few options

First paint was black & white to practice making the eyes

Next we selected two colors to start the process and then added as many colors as you request

Cannot paint to heavy because the paint needs to dry before you leave the complex

The more colors added the more powerful the Alebrijie

After done painting we toured the gift shop and rest rooms

Left location later than expected because bus issues 11 am

The Mayan Chocolate tour was an outdoor walking tour which was hot and humid

Learned about Mayan culture and how chocolate started

We watched and tasted a demonstration on how to make chocolate

After entering a very expensive gift shop and then the 15-minute bus ride back to the port

Eliu was our excellent tour guide and please remember to tip them

Overall, I am very pleased with the first half of the port adventure and would highly recommend this one. We learned a lot about the culture and getting to paint our Alebrijie was an awesome experience. The Mayan Chocolate tour I did not love and would not repeat but did learn alot

Walked back through the port and then back onto the ship

The Cozumel port area has plenty of shops to explore if you want or have time

Back in room by 1:30 pm ordered room service for lunch

Of note because of the rain early in the day DCL handed out ponchos to us while getting off the ship
