Excellent value, fantastic experience - A quick Mayan history lesson started our excursion at the site after a 20-minute taxi ride (included) at the site. Then, Bernardo, the leader of our cooking lesson, showed us step-by-step how to complete each element from the chopping of the vegetables, the seasonings, folding the banana leaf, making tortillas, etc. It was easy to follow and thankfully pretty easy (think unlimited margaritas). Fresh ceviche started the meal (Felipe caught the red snapper that morning), the mahi mahi we cooked followed, and the finish was fresh coconut ice cream topped with a traditional Mayan liqueur. We ended the experience relaxing by the pool and lounging in hammocks. 10/10 recommend.

A delightful afternoon - This was booked through Viking Cruise. It was an intimate experience with a small group from the cruise ship. Bernardo told us personal stories regarding the traditional dish we were going to prepare. He told some history of the Mayan peoples in Cozumel and created a sense of community and appreciation of the people gathered around the table. It was a beautiful setting, perfect weather, and a relaxing and unforgettable experience.
