Learn how to prepare tamales using local ingredients while discovering the cultural meaning of maize in Maya life. The class also includes an introduction to xocolatl/cacao and its importance in Maya history and cosmovision.

This is more than a cooking class. It is a respectful cultural exchange that supports local families, preserves culinary heritage, and gives travellers a real connection with the community of Ek Balam.
