Cần Quan Tâm

Authentic Guatemalan Cooking Class & Market Tour Discover Guatemala through its flavors in this hands-on cultural and culinary adventure. We’ll start with a guided visit to Antigua’s vibrant market, exploring colorful stalls, learning about local ingredients, and enjoying a fresh fruit tasting. Then, we’ll head by vehicle or the colorful chicken bus to the welcoming community of San Miguel Escobar. There, a local family will invite you into their home to cook: Pepián – Guatemala’s signature stew. Handmade tortillas and rice as side dishes. Traditional mole – a sweet-and-savory dessert you will prepare yourself. Finally, sit down with your hosts to enjoy the dishes you created, share stories, and take memorable photos. This experience is authentic, interactive, and delicious — the perfect way to connect with Guatemalan culture while learning its traditional cuisine.

Spent half of the day with Axel and Elsa and it was worth every penny. Axel is a super smart and fun guy who taught as a lot about the countries history and food culture. Elsa is one of the kindest persons ever met. She let us into her home where she taught us how to cook a traditional dish on a traditional stove. We had an exceptional time with Axel and Elsa and would highly recommend this tour.

My wife and I signed up for this while in Antigua. We were the only ones on the tour! Our guide Alex toured us through the handicraft market and local market. He bought some exotic fruits for us to try later. He then drove us to a nearby town and home of a local family. We participated in the preparation of pepian, a rice dish and a mole dessert. The family was wonderful and friendly. Alex translated our questions and comments. It was a great immersive experience. The meal was delicious! Worth every Quetzal. Highly recommended.

The traditional cooking class of Elsa was a very great experience! I would recommend it to anyone who is in Antigua for a few days and would like to get to know a little more about the culinary aspects in Guatemala. Through Axel, we also learned about the history of the Maya. Cooking with Elsa and Axel was a lot of fun. Thank you!

Wonderful personal experience. Picked a.nd return was included. The woman whose home I got to cook in was wa.s very friendly and ha D everything organized when I got there. She showed me and then I was the cook for most stages. Cooking over a wood stove was interesting. I got to make tortillas by hand. Then we ate the delicious meal. I learned a lot about small town Guatemala culture. I loved that the money goes directly to local people and the international cultural exchange is great.

This cooking class was more than just learning recipes – it was like being invited into a family's kitchen! The setting was so peaceful, and the family teaching us was incredibly kind. We made the most delicious food, and now I feel like I can finally bring a little bit of Guatemala back home with me. This was absolutely unforgettable!
