Authentic Cooking Class

Danielle_S, Aug 2026

My family and I had such a wonderful experience at the 4hrs cooking class in Colombia! We travel all over the world, and this was one of the best authentic cooking classes that we took. It was such a fun and hands-on way to experience the local culture while learning how to prepare some delicious Colombian dishes. Everything we made was absolutely delicious from the ropa (shredded beef), coconut rice, plantains, and salad were all so good! 😋 Additionally, I’ve eaten yuca many times and never knew it could be turned into a dessert, that was very interesting for me. 😆 The food was fresh, flavorful, and full of authentic Colombian taste. Aunt Nancy the cooking instructor was welcoming, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience enjoyable and easy to follow. Also, Maurico the translator, helper, and history teacher all in one 😊 lol was amazing and very knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend this cooking class to anyone visiting Colombia. It was a great experience, the food was amazing, and we left with full stomachs and great memories! 🇨🇴👩🏽‍🍳❤️

Authentic family moment!
