What to expect

Begin your experience in a local Cusco setting, where fire cooking, authentic flavors, and hands-on fun come together.

Meet your instructor and a small group to start your BBQ experience. No experience is needed, and whether you’re a complete beginner or already love cooking, you’ll learn something new about Peruvian ingredients, grilling techniques, and local food culture.

As you cook over the fire, you’ll pick up practical techniques you can easily use again at home, and your host will capture candid photos so you can remember the experience long after it ends.

Follow the step-by-step guidance, taking notes if you like. Many of the ingredients are easy to find around the world, making the recipes simple to recreate later. You’ll also receive our digital recipe book and a curated Cusco Food Guide to keep exploring local flavors during the rest of your trip.

When everything is ready, sit together to enjoy the dishes you created and raise a glass with a homemade Pisco Sour served in your complimentary wine glass.

You leave with recipes, practical skills, memorable moments, keepsakes, and the peace of mind of our 5-star money-back guarantee.
