Peruvian Cooking Class Cocktails and Market Tour in Cusco

Walter_M, Mar 2026

Peruvian Cooking with Friends!

From the market tour to the hands on cooking, Jorge was phenomenal and a master at his craft. He kept everyone involved and answered all our questions. He taught us how to both cook authentic Peruvian cuisine, but present it as well. The small group size allowed for small talk and learning of others in the class. I would highly recommend the class if you are in Cusco.

Fantastic cooking and culinary class

Wonderful experience! Nice tour of the market to start, delightful cooking class. Very approachable, personable chef made this experience wonderful for our family. Great variety of dishes and techniques. Lovely discussion about Peruvian culinary traditions and modern Peruvian culture. This was our last activity after a delightful trip and was really the cherry on top!

Great Cuzco Experience

We had such a fantastic experience at this chocolate-making class in Cusco. Honestly, it was so much better than expected. We learned so much about the history of chocolate in South America, from its ancient roots to how it’s prepared today, and it was presented in a way that was fun, engaging, and truly interactive. Miguel was incredible! He was so knowledgeable, fun, and genuinely connecting. He made the experience feel personal and alive, not like a typical tourist activity. My husband, our friend, and I were all completely engaged the whole time and had an absolute blast. If you’re in Cusco and even slightly interested in chocolate or cultural history, don’t miss this. One of our favorite experiences of the trip!

This experience is beyond...

This experience is beyond my expectation! When we arrived, Christiana greeted us warmly. Once all the guests settled in, we started with fruits taster, we had a lot of interactions to identify each fruit. Then we moved to the “marketplace” with her explanation of each ingredients . The third session is preparing our appetizers, again this is so much fun. The fourth is our main course, finally we made our pisco sour and cocktail. This cooking class is more than food, it gave us a deeper understanding of Peruvian food, its culture, agriculture, fusion and geography. Christina’s enthusiasm and passion highlights this class! This experience enriches my appreciation of Peruvian food and its history.

My husband and I had a...

My husband and I had a blast in our cooking class with Chef Jorge! We enjoyed the market tour, sampling and learning about various local foods like different varieties of passion fruit and a traditional Peruvian bread. For the cooking portion of class, we really enjoyed making the drinks (pisco sour and chicha morada), as well as the three courses (ceviche, tamales, and causa). We are both vegan and appreciated that the menu could be accommodated for us. There was so much food that we unfortunately were too full to eat dessert, but we were able to take it to go and thoroughly enjoyed it later. Everything was delicious, and Jorge did a great job of explaining the instructions and introducing each course. I’d highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Cusco!

A fun & memorable workshop!

This chocolate workshop was a blast!! We can’t stay enough good about David - his communication skills and positive personality made the evening so memorable! He taught us each step in the whole chocolate process perfectly. Damaso - the assistant was also very helpful and fun! The evening view from the place was beautiful! Our chocolates turned out great! I would definitely recommend this workshop! Thanks for a great & memorable evening!

Sacred Valley Textile Workshop – Dyeing & Weaving in Cusco

Anne_B, Aug 2025

Amazing, educational and fun!

This was one of the most fun and educational things we did in Cusco. It was so great to learn how generations before us have dyed wool, woven and told stories through the cloth and how this knowledge has been passed down. I don't know where to start, I am ecstatic after the course! It was so great to meet women at the center and watch them weave, learn about the craft and to buy handmade products directly from the women who made it. We got to make bookmarks (with good help), and now when I take out the book I always have to admire the bookmark before I can start reading. If I go back to Peru, this is something I will do again - without a doubt!

Very good

The young lady met us on exit and took pictures for us while waiting for the driver to come around. Smooth ride from airport to hotel in the cool evening. Mild altitude sickness however after we got up two flights of stairs (no lifts at the otherwise very nice four star hotel!) to our room.
