Guests say the experience feels like stepping into a Guatemalan family home, where warm, passionate hosts guide participants through traditional recipes such as hand‑pressed tortillas, ember‑roasted desserts, and classic soups. The hands‑on cooking and even a glimpse of local textile weaving create an authentic cultural immersion, making the class a memorable highlight for anyone seeking genuine culinary heritage.
Step into the heart of Guatemalan culinary heritage with an intimate and mystical cooking experience in Sacatepéquez. Welcomed into a local family home, you’ll discover traditional recipes and cooking techniques lovingly passed down through generations.
Your experience begins with an introduction to Guatemala’s rich textile traditions, including a demonstration of the beautiful art of backstrap loom weaving and insights into the Mayan worldview. Then, head into the kitchen and get hands-on as you prepare an authentic family-style menu from scratch.
Learn the secrets behind El Quichón, an ancestral recado made with charred ingredients and traditional cooking methods, and prepare the historic Sopa de Soldadito. You’ll also discover how to make Ticucos on the traditional comal and practice hand-patting your own tortillas before cooking them over the fire.
To finish, gather around the family table and enjoy the dishes you’ve prepared together, including a mystical dessert of sweet potato slowly roasted in the glowing embers.
More than a cooking class, this is an opportunity to connect with Guatemala through its food, stories, traditions, and family heritage—and to experience recipes that are rarely found outside the home.
Also included: Welcome drink and unlimited purified water.
