Do not miss this opportunity!! - Absolutely fantastic. Delicious food, beautiful location, lovely hosts/instructors. 4 of us were in Antigua for Semana Santa, and booked a cooking class at Cuscun school in Jocotenango. Our chef was Dario, assisted by Melany, and we had a phenomenal experience learning about the guatemalan ingredients, flavors, and history behind the meal we helped to prepare. Dario was not only a great host, providing guidance and commentary in both English and Spanish, but was also a really fun companion for the evening. The weather cooperated so we spent the full several hours on the rooftop, with wonderful views of the skyline and volcanoes. I cannot recommend this experience enough. And Cuscun school is incredibly fortunate to have chef Dario.
