This is not a professional cooking school or chef-led culinary course. Rather, it is an opportunity to visit an authentic local home, connect with a Mérida resident, and share Yucatecan culture, traditions, and cuisine together.
This experience takes place in Sofia's private home, which also operates as a homestay. Your cooking class is private, though other guests may be present on the property.
Guests interested in a more in-depth master class that includes preparing traditional dishes such as pollo pibil and/or sopa de lima may request this option in advance. Please note that it extends the experience by approximately 2 hours or more.
Sofia's home does not have air-conditioning. During warmer months, the kitchen can become hot while cooking.
For added convenience, choose the tour option with transfers, which includes round-trip transportation between your Merida hotel or vacation rental and Sofia's home.
