Top Argentina Cooking Classes - page 2

Taking a tango class in Buenos Aires was such a fun and memorable experience, especially as it took place both on my birthday and during our honeymoon. Our instructor, Gabriela - who warmly introduced herself as Gaby - was patient, encouraging and made the lesson accessible even for us as complete beginners. She created such a relaxed and supportive atmosphere that any initial nerves quickly disappeared. We even took photos together and she kindly filmed a video of us dancing, which is such a lovely keepsake from the day. Beyond learning the steps themselves, we truly appreciated discovering more about the tango culture. There is something incredibly intimate and passionate about the dance. We left smiling, slightly more coordinated than when we arrived, and completely charmed by the experience. This was definitely not the last time we danced tango in our lives.

If you have an evening spare in El Calafate, I really recommend you give this a go. Miguel and his wife were great hosts, fantastic argentinian BBQ beef and 11 like minded solo and group travellers, coming together for an awesome dinner ofcfood, wine and conversation.

Taking a cooking class at Pachamama Argentine Cooking Experience was one of the highlights of my time in Buenos Aires. The class was incredibly well organized, fun, and very hands-on from start to finish. We started with a welcome snack while learning about the history of Argentine cuisine, which set the tone for the experience. Then we rolled up our sleeves and cooked several traditional dishes together, including chipá, regional empanadas, humita, and a delicious dulce de leche dessert. Everything was explained clearly, and the instructors made it easy and enjoyable even if you’re not an experienced cook.  What I loved most was the atmosphere. The group was small and interactive, so it felt more like cooking with friends than taking a class. The instructors were knowledgeable, funny, and shared lots of tips about Argentine food and culture along the way.  At the end we all sat down together to enjoy the meal we prepared, paired with wine, which made it feel like a true Argentine dining experience. It was a great way to meet other travelers while enjoying fantastic food.  If you’re visiting Buenos Aires and want something memorable to do, I highly recommend this class. It’s a fun way to learn about the country’s cuisine and leave with recipes you can actually recreate at home.
