Take part in an informative cooking class that allows you to create authentic Prehispanic food and Maya cuisine using traditional tools. Sit back and relax at a private ranch in the heart of the jungle as you prepare culturally important food, enjoying your tasty meal as the class comes to an end.

Your culinary adventure begins when your guide picks you up at your hotel and takes you on a short drive through the jungle to a private ranch. Take a seat in the comfortable kitchen where you are given a brief overview on traditional Mexican utensils, like a molcajete, a mortar and pestle made of stone, and a metate, a hollowed stone used for grinding seeds into smaller pieces.

Use the fogón, a wood-burning stove in the center of the kitchen, to make handmade tortillas filled with cheese, beans, corn, chicken, pork, and onion. While preparing your tortillas, your guide reveals the traditions and techniques used when creating customary cuisine. Once your meal is ready, enjoy the tasty flavors of this authentic Prehispanic dish before heading back to your hotel.
