What to expect

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

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

Your group will create several traditional Panamanian dishes such as Pico de Gallo and Fish Ceviche, plus several appetizers and the classic Panamanian mojito.

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

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

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