Interesting, if a little somber and not as fun as other cooking classes we’ve done elsewhere. The team has done a great job plating what we cooked - that was unique. Seeing our dishes plated with artistic flair was super cool.

We had an amazing time at the cooking class. The chef was patient and informative. It was very fun learning about the local ingredients and indigenous techniques used in the different courses. The class is taught at a woman owned nonprofit vocational school that provides training and job placement for local people. We ate at the fabulous restaurant and purchased some things made on site to support this effort as well. I highly recommend taking this class!

We booked this cooking class & a day trip around Lake Atitlan & a trip to Chichicastenango all with kayak tours, all of which were really good! He also referred us to a good guide for Antigua!

Amazing experience to book with this company. We booked both the Mayan cooking class and a bike ride through them. Communication was easy and quick. I will write more about each specific activity/experience under those pages.

What an amazing experience!! Alicia is an incredible host and she loves sharing her culture with visitors. She is a wonderful teacher and a lovely person. She works with her family (her sons often translate in English) and you can see how much love and pride go into the experience. She explains all of the ingredients that are used in the Mayan cuisine you will cook and shares her recipes and her life story with you. It was an unforgettable experience.

Favorite experience of our trip! Alicia and Vanessa were so kind, knowledgeable and friendly. We learned not just how to cook Mayan cuisine, but also about their culture.

I highly recommend La Casa de Alicia. Alicia & her family were incredibly amazing and welcoming. If you’re looking for a cooking class, just a short boat ride from Panajachel, I highly recommend booking with Alicia.
