10 Cooking Classes in Yucatan Peninsula That You Shouldn't Miss

March 17, 2022 Carley Gatson

Hidden gems of Yucatan, such as Tulum, Akumal, Chetumal, Chichen Itza and Merida, offer an authentic taste of Mexico. Akumal and more Caribbean-style Chetumal, near the Belize border, deliver delectable white-sand beaches and great snorkelling. Merida, Chichen Itza and Tulum, with their ancient ruins, offer a passage into the Yucatanâs native history. Nature lovers can jungle trek and swim in subterranean sinkholes filled with crystal-clear water. Bike around the ruins and hop between towns in colectivo vans.

We enjoyed learning how to make all our favorite dishes including refried frijoles, nopales salad, homemade tortillas, guacamole, mayan squash, margaritas and our favorite, achiote marinade. Josephina and her assistant are warm and inviting and very knowledgeable. My husband and I enjoyed the 5 hours we spent cooking and learning with Josephina. We will definitely take another class the next time we are in Cozumel.

I took the Mexican cooking class while vacationing in Cancun last month. Marisol was so kind and knowledgable! We made margaritas, guacamole, salsa, fish al pastor, shrimp ceviche and a special fried dessert. It was a fun, hands-on class, and we enjoyed our hard work with a big meal at the end. They also served wine and beer with the meal. I would definitely recommend this class!
