Cooking class - the taste of Yucatán


Are you interested in an unforgettable culinary experience in Mérida, where you not only learn how to prepare authentic Mexican cuisine, but get up close to the locals as well? Then this experience is just the thing for you!

Explore some of the culinary secrets of the Yucatán peninsula and get ready to go on a journey packed with gourmet experiences.

The first stop of the excursion is a local market where your guide tells you about the local ingredients and culinary traditions that Mérida is famous for. Once you’ve bought the right ingredients, the excursion continues to a local family, where you work together to turn these fresh ingredients into some delicious, traditional Mexican foods. While the food is being prepared, you get a wealth of options to get to know Mexican culture, and you may even learn a few new Spanish or Mayan words.

Finally, enjoy your home-made Mexican meal, which in addition to a starter, main course, and dessert, also includes a traditional drink. This is either the red hibiscus tea, or the green, refreshing “Agua de Chaya”, which is said to have healing properties.

Get excited for this culinary experience that is not only a treat for your palate, but also brings you up close to Mexican culture.
