Participants are welcomed to their village in Chirijuyú, just 15 minutes from Antigua Guatemala, where we cook together using family recipes handed down for generations. Each dish is prepared from scratch with fresh ingredients and traditional techniques, including the use of clay pot and handmade tortillas.

We only work with small groups of up to 12 people to offer a more personalized, closer and authentic experience.

We also offer vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options with prior notice.

The recipes are written in Spanish, English or French to help you understand the stages.

The atmosphere is intimate, warm and familiar, ideal for travelers seeking a genuine cultural experience outside of mass tourism.
