About your trip

Discover Mexico through flavor and tradition in this 3-hour hands-on cooking workshop. Make handmade tortillas, guacamole, and salsas, while learning their cultural meaning. Sample tequila, mezcal, and xtabentún, and enjoy classic games like lotería and balero. A fun, interactive evening of food, culture, and connection.

Overview

  Your evening begins in the heart of Mérida’s historic center, where you’ll meet your local guide and stroll through some of the city’s most iconic landmarks before boarding a Va y Ven bus, just like the locals do, this short ride takes you beyond the tourist areas and into a real neighborhood, where your host awaits to welcome you into their home.

This hands-on experience isn’t just about cooking, t’s a deeper look into everyday life and the traditions that shape Mexico’s vibrant food culture. As you prepare classic appetizers, sip regional spirits, and play traditional games, you’ll share stories, laughter, and an authentic connection to the local way of life.
