We are indigenous kaqchikel Mayan sisters, born and raised in the village of San Marcos La Laguna on the shores of the beautiful Lake Atitlan in the mountains of western Guatemala. We are the founders of Maya Moon Cacao, and we'd love to share our cultural heritage from ancestral traditions of this loving medicine with you!
Our mission is to provide a dignified living wage to Mayan single mothers and handicapped youth in San Marcos La Laguna and fair trade opportunities to our farmer partners. Our team works hard to bring you the purest artisanal organic cacao, for a sacred cacao ceremony or just a healthy smoothie. Maya Moon Cacao - the Drink of the Gods!

Alma del Jaguar is crafted using traditional methods designed to highlight natural flavors of the agave plant and the terroir of the Los Altos (highlands) region. Our production partners, the Vivanco family, are 5th generation tequileros who have been growing agave in Los Altos de Jalisco since 1929.
Alma del Jaguar was created to help protect wild jaguars in Mexico and the U.S. As a U.S.-based tequila company with production partners in Mexico, we feel compelled to dedicate our efforts to the jaguar populations closest to us and the distillery. So we donate directly to conservation organizations like the Northern Jaguar Project who manage the Northern Jaguar Reserve in Sonora, Mexico and help protect the northernmost population of wild jaguars in the world.
