Shop a vibrant local mercado with a celebrated regional chef, then cook a lavish multi-course Yucatecan feast in a restored colonial hacienda kitchen — the most delicious three hours you'll spend in port.
What to expect
Your chef guide meets you portside and leads you through a kaleidoscopic market, selecting achiote, fresh habaneros, and hand-pressed tortillas from trusted vendors. At the hacienda, you grind spices on a traditional metate and master the art of cochinita pibil and sopa de lima. The meal concludes with homemade churros and café de olla on the hacienda terrace.
