Peruvian Cooking Class Cocktails and Market Tour in Cusco

1.Peruvian Cooking Class Cocktails and Market Tour in Cusco

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,712 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $57Our pick

Explore San Pedro Market, cook three Peruvian dishes, mix two pisco cocktails, and take home recipes in this four-hour Cusco class.

“This excursion was very interesting and fun at first, with the San Pedro market tour! I definitely learned a lot. I did feel like the market tour and the cooking classes were very long altogether. I was definitely ready to go home after. It would have been nice to actually have individual burners and learn how to cook each meal. It felt very school like with us passing around bowls of ingredients and putting them in our station. Definitely hands off. Oh, and not to mention one of the European guys in our group kept sniffing the bowl of food that we used for our ingredients :/.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 410 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $33

Make chocolate from cacao bean to bar in Cusco, learn Peru’s cocoa story, taste chocolate drinks, and take home your own creations.

“A fun activity, very knowledgeable and friendly guide, going through the process of chocolate making. Finally, they give you 120 grams of hot chocolate (of the least quality) and one can prepare its desireable flavors with some options available. *** Charging $38+ for this activity is way beyong its value. We found that direct booking in the provider website would cost $25 (i. e., Viator charges 50%! more). OUTRAGEOUS. *** We have some comments for improvement: 1- There was a continuous noise coming from the store next to the workshop room, we found it difficult to hear the guide. Must find a solution for that. 2- Place bar seats in…”

Jose taught us about the history of Peruvian food and told us about the many different types of produce that grow in Peru. He sent us the recipes after the event. We went to the Marcelo Batata resturaunt a few nights later and it was amazing!”

“We had an amazing experience and loved learning more about Cusco! The pace was great and the sunset viewpoint was beautiful:) The vendor for the music show was closed, and that was why we picked this specific walking tour so that was disappointing. Our guide recommended a local dance show for after the tour, which we attended and loved. The restaurant where we ended the tour with a pisco sour toast was very cute!”
