About this experience
Participants are welcomed to their village in Chirijuyú, just 15 minutes from Antigua Guatemala, where we cook together using family recipes handed down for generations. Each dish is prepared from scratch with fresh ingredients and traditional techniques, including the use of clay pot and handmade tortillas.
We only work with small groups of up to 12 people to offer a more personalized, closer and authentic experience.
We also offer vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options with prior notice.
The recipes are written in Spanish, English or French to help you understand the stages.
The atmosphere is intimate, warm and familiar, ideal for travelers seeking a genuine cultural experience outside of mass tourism.

Itinerary and highlights
"You will learn the secrets of ancient Guatemalan cuisine in an intimate, exclusive and mystical experience. We will put on the apron in a familiar atmosphere to elaborate step by step the emblematic Quichón, a recipe inherited from generation to generation that stands out for its mystical ancestral sauce. You will live the full culinary experience: you will grind the corn into traditional stone and pat your own tortillas to cook in the comal in the moment. We will share the table to enjoy this traditional feast together, which we will complement with the warmth of our Soldadito soup and the authentic taste of homemade tickers.
