    We absolutely LOVED our cooking class with Alicia and our translator Macie. It felt like having lunch with friends, and our meal was delicious! Alicia taught us traditional cooking techniques and even served us coffee grown in her own garden! We learned a lot about the local area, customs, people, and history. Would absolutely recommend this experience if you are visiting Lake Atitlan!

    Getting to Santa Cruz la Laguna was a bit of a challenge! regardless, I took a private boat from Panajachel , then a tuk-tuk from the docks to the cook’s home, the tour organizer was very helpful and communicative, the chef/instructor was super helpful and patient with us and everything was well worth it! The kitchen is very nice, she tough us how to make tortillas from scratch! After all the food is cooked, you get to enjoy it by eating with a beautiful view of the lake and volcanoes!

    Marcelino picked me up at my hotel and took me to Panajachel boat. Our instructor Anita took me to the market with another solo traveler where we shopped for all the ingredients of our Maya food adventure. Over the course of several hours in a wonderful setting, we made a delicious stew, Guatemalan rice, guacamole, a plantain with chocolate mole dessert and rice milk. Would highly recommend!
