Cusco / San Pedro Market / Private Culinary Studio / Cusco
A hands-on culinary experience that combines the authenticity of San Pedro Market with a private cooking class in the heart of Cusco. Discover the flavors, ingredients, and techniques that have made Peruvian cuisine one of the most celebrated in the world.
To understand Peru, begin with its ingredients.
In the heart of Cusco, explore San Pedro Market alongside your private chef, discovering native potatoes, Andean herbs, colorful peppers, tropical fruits, grains, and other ingredients shaped by Peru’s extraordinary geography.
Choose the flavors that will inspire your menu before continuing to a private culinary studio within a historic colonial mansion. Here, discovery becomes participation as you prepare a passion fruit Pisco Sour, ceviche, and a contemporary Andean quinoa risotto, guided by your chef.
More than a cooking class, this is an immersive encounter with Peru’s biodiversity, traditions, and culinary creativity.
Sit down to enjoy what you have created, accompanied by Andean infusions, and take the recipes home with you.
You do not simply taste Peru. You experience it, create it, and carry its flavors with you.
Cusco (No overnight accommodation included.)
This experience takes place entirely within the city of Cusco at approximately 3,400 meters (11,155 feet) above sea level.
The walk between the market and the culinary studio is short and requires minimal physical effort. For greater comfort, we recommend staying well hydrated throughout the day and dressing in layers to accommodate Cusco’s changing temperatures.
Year-Round Availability
This experience operates throughout the year, as it takes place primarily indoors within Cusco’s historic center.
Rainy Season (January – March)
The experience continues to operate normally during the rainy season and is an excellent option for travelers seeking a cultural and culinary activity independent of weather conditions.
Comfortable footwear is recommended, and during rainy days, guests may wish to bring an umbrella or lightweight waterproof jacket for the brief walk between locations.
Advance Reservation
Due to chef scheduling, ingredient preparation, and culinary studio availability, reservations should be made 48 to 72 hours in advance.
