The cacao tree is native to the Americas. It originated in Central America and parts of Mexico. More than 5,000 years ago, it was consumed by pre-Columbian cultures along the Yucatán, including the Mayans in spiritual ceremonies. It´s range may have been larger in the past; evidence of its wild eange may be oscured by cultivation of the tree in these areas since long before the Spanish arrived. The coca bean was a common currency throughout Mesoamerica before the Spanish conquest.
