Join us for a hands-on culinary experience in the heart of Peru’s Sacred Valley. We can pick you up from any hotel or accommodation located within the Sacred Valley.

We’ll begin with a visit to the vibrant Urubamba Market, where you’ll discover local ingredients, meet the vendors, and enjoy a refreshing seasonal fruit juice while selecting the freshest produce for your cooking class.

Next, we’ll head to Casa Tiobamba in Maras, where you’ll cook over a traditional wood-fired stove with spectacular views of the Chicón glacier and the surrounding mountains.

Choose one or two classic Peruvian dishes to prepare:

• Ceviche
• Ají de Gallina
• Lomo Saltado
• Causa Limeña

Before the main meal, you'll also taste delicious Amazonian-style criollo tamales as an starter.

After cooking together and learning about local traditions, you'll enjoy your meal surrounded by the beauty of the Sacred Valley. You'll also receive the recipes to take home as a lasting memory of your experience.

Finally, we'll drive you back to your accommodation.
