Culture & Food
The culture of a country or region brings together many aspects but one of those that I like most is gastronomy.
Each region has its specialty and each family its recipes handed down from generation to generation.
Mexican Food
When I arrived in Mexico obviously I threw myself on tacos and guacamole, but after a few years of daily life I discovered a very special and delicious gastronomy that has so much more to offer than a few tacos and a little mashed avocados.
Mayan Food
That’s why I decided to offer you the opportunity to discover these easy to prepare recipes that are full of flavors that use simple and local products. The main ingredient in the Americas is, of course, corn, but there are plenty of ways to prepare and consume it.
Ancestral Cuisine
Mayan Immersion offers you an introduction to Mayan ancestral cuisine, during which you will have the chance to discover the secrets of the “Massa”, and what delicious products are prepared with this corn paste as well as some delicious accompaniments.
Mayan Cooking Class
The Mayan Cooking Class lasts approximately 3 hours.
Lets Eat, Tortillas & Tamalles
Then, having prepared tortillas, tamales and other specialty Maya we gather around a table to taste the food.
Pollo Pipbil
On the 24h Immersion you can choose to take this cooking class and discover how the “Pollo Pipbil,” is prepared. It is an ancient chicken recipe which is cooked in the earth.

For the class you are advised to wear comfortable and closed shoes. Covered arms and legs, if possible a lightweight t-shirt with long sleeves to protect you from (possible) mosquitoes.
