Authentic Mayan cooking class led by local family

PATRICIA_B, Jan 2026

We enjoyed this authentic Guatemalan Mayan cooking class with Maria and her family members. We had that opportunity to make three different traditional and delicious Guatemalan foods. Our guide, Xoshil met us in Antigua and facilitated our trip to a local home on the outskirts of town. She was very knowledgeable about Antigua and Guatemala and shared many interesting facts as we moved to the city and throughout the entire class. We are English speaking and she was able to translate everything that the local Spanish-speaking family said. This is a hands-on cooking class with lots of opportunity to participate and understand the preparation of the dishes. It was clear that everyone involved is very proud of their culture and happy to share it. We highly recommend this experience for anyone traveling to Antigua, Guatemala.

We thoroughly enjoyed...
