Discover the unique flavors of Yucatecan cuisine during this immersive small group “eat-as-you-make-it” cooking class in a local Cancun home.

In this fun and hands-on experience, you’ll prepare 9 traditional recipes and drinks that highlight the rich flavors of the region.

Start by (optionally) visiting a bustling Cancun market, where you’ll shop for fresh ingredients and sample traditional Yucatecan favorites, including the iconic cochinita pibil.

Then, get your hands dirty as you prepare an appetizer, main dish, and dessert, guided by a skilled culinary chef.

Finally, sit down to enjoy the delicious creations you’ve prepared, all while learning about local culture, food, and traditions in a family home setting.

What to expect

Begin your experience inside a true Mexican home kitchen, where authentic flavors, stories, and hands-on cooking come together.

Meet your instructor and a small group to begin your Mexican culinary adventure. No experience is necessary, and you're bound to learn something new about Mexican cooking and culture, whether you're a novice or an expert chef.

Your group will create several traditional Mexican dishes such as burritos, tacos, and quesadillas, plus several appetizers and the classic margarita.

Listen as your instructor guides you through the process of making each dish, taking notes if you like. Most of the ingredients used can be found all over the world, so you'll be able to recreate everything at home.

Once everything’s ready, gather around the table to enjoy the full meal you created, share stories with your host, and toast with a homemade margarita.

You leave not just with recipes, but with skills, moments, and connections most travelers never experience.
