Activity itinerary

Your culinary adventure begins at a local Cancun market, where you'll explore ingredients used in traditional Mexican cooking. Accompanied by your chef, select fresh ingredients for the dishes you'll prepare later. Then head to a local restaurant with more than 40 years of history and start cooking. Guided by a professional Mexican chef, learn traditional techniques using classic tools such as the molcajete and comal. Prepare Mexican favorites from scratch, including guacamole, refried beans, handmade tortillas, sopes and enchiladas, finishing with arroz con leche for dessert. You'll also prepare a margarita, with a non-alcoholic option available. Then comes the best part: sit down with your classmates and enjoy the meal you created together, accompanied by refreshments. With groups limited to 10 guests, you'll have plenty of opportunity to cook, ask questions and learn directly from your chef, regardless of your cooking experience. Afterward, receive a digital recipe book so you can recreate the dishes back home.
