Overview

This 5-hour tour in Merida, Mexico, begins with a guided walk through a vibrant local market. Participants taste seasonal fruits, traditional sweets, and regional specialties while selecting fresh ingredients for the cooking class. After the market visit, the group travels by bus to the home of the hosts. There, a cooking class focuses on traditional Yucatecan dishes from the Yucatan region. Participants learn recipes and hear stories related to the food as they prepare the meal together. Once the cooking is complete, the group sits down to eat the dishes they have made, accompanied by local beverages. The return trip to downtown Merida is by Uber. A bilingual guide fluent in Spanish and English is present throughout the tour. The price includes transportation to the hostess's home by bus, Uber back to the city, all ingredients for the cooking lesson, lunch and beverages at the hostess's home, bottled water, and one traditional candy per person. Children under five years old participate free of charge. Vegetarian and vegan options are available upon request. Participants should inform the organizers of any dietary restrictions or allergies at the time of booking. It is recommended to wear a hat or cap and sunscreen due to the climate.
