Peruvian cooking class - Pachamanca experience
Description
This activity is special because it offers an authentic, hands-on Pachamanca experience prepared using traditional underground cooking techniques. Travelers are guided by local chefs and actively participate in the process, learning about Andean ingredients and ancestral traditions. The experience takes place in a natural setting near Cusco, away from crowds, allowing for a deeper cultural connection. More than just a meal, it is a communal ritual that honors Pachamama (Mother Earth) and provides a meaningful way to experience Peru’s living culinary heritage.

We loved the attention and the food was 1000/10! Much richer than we thought and the presentation... ufff! Great! I will definitely return ☝️😉
I had a lot of fun in this experience of learning to cook together with my friends, the class was very enjoyable and I enjoyed cooking very new dishes for myself! Super recommended to attend this class if you are traveling to Cusco!
A fun, creative , gastronomically totally different experience, is highly recommended, in a super well located place
All the top food! Comfortable and very clean environment, vibe and otherworldly energy, highly recommended. Ernesto un capo 👌 10/10
Waited at the meeting point for over half an hour and no one bothered showing up. I called several times and they also couldn’t bother picking up the phone.
Don't book this cooking experience. It's a scam. We went to the meeting place and it's a locked up door. No one showed up to meet us in the square either. They do not answer messages. They didn't even answer the Viator representative either. I had to request a refund through Viator.
I really enjoyed my evening at this course! Ernesto is really professional and kind. I learned a lot about Peruvian food and it tasted really nice. Especially the Pisco Sour:) Would recommend for sure
"I experienced a delicious culinary adventure at a charming venue in Cusco. The exquisite fusion of local flavors and innovative culinary techniques created dishes that delighted my senses. The cozy atmosphere and friendly service made my experience even more memorable. Without a doubt, this place has become my favorite choice to explore authentic Cusco cuisine with a modern touch. Highly recommended for all lovers of good food and exceptional hospitality!"
I would recommend this cooking class to anyone interested in learning new techniques and improving their cooking skills. The chef/instructor is passionate and knowledgeable, and his teaching style is as fun as it is educational. The recipes taught are varied and delicious, and the organization of the class is impeccable. Additionally, students are encouraged to actively participate, creating an interactive and collaborative learning environment. Personally, I have had amazing results in my dishes after taking this class. It's definitely worth doing.
Ernesto is the best, the experience is incredible and his cooking is good, he knows how to teach and the place is beautiful 10/10 🔥🔥🔥
