Overview

Peru is hailed as the culinary capital of Latin America, so there’s no better place to master making local cuisine than Cusco. During this hands-on experience, you’ll enjoy personalized attention from your chef in a small group limited to only 12 other food lovers. Plus, you’ll enjoy a pisco tasting to whet your appetite before you start cooking *lomo saltado*, perhaps Peru’s most famous dish.
  • Master the art of Peruvian cuisine during a small-group Cusco cooking class
  • Take home recipes and new skills rather than just food photos
  • Delve deeper into the country's biodiverse produce
