Sit down with a Yucateco chef in a private cooking session featuring cochinita pibil, fresh ceviches, and hand-pressed tortillas, paired with an expertly guided artisan mezcal flight. Eat, drink, and understand a cuisine UNESCO calls Intangible Cultural Heritage.
What to expect
Your host greets you with a refreshing agua fresca before guiding you through the market logic of Yucatecan spice and citrus. Hands-on cooking follows: you'll grind achiote, fold banana-leaf tamales, and learn the secret of a perfect pibil marinade. The feast you cook becomes your lunch, paired with a guided flight of three single-village mezcals with tasting notes and food pairings.
