Traditional Cooking Class in nature
Learn to Cook Traditional Mexican Food in the Heart of the Mountains
WHAT TO EXPECT?
Join us for an authentic culinary experience in a beautiful, family-friendly setting surrounded by lush mountains, rivers, and nature (Los Dinamos). This is more than just a cooking class — it’s a journey into the heart of Mexican culture.
Our experience centers around traditional firewood cooking, just like our grandparents used to do. You’ll learn how to manage the fire, choose fresh organic ingredients straight from the mountain, and cook with the same care and passion passed down through generations.
We begin by preparing one of the most essential elements of Mexican cuisine: la salsa. Salsa is not just a condiment — it’s a centerpiece of every Mexican table. You’ll learn to make a vibrant salsa verde, which later becomes the star of our main dish: verdolagas in green sauce, a traditional favorite.
Together, we’ll also prepare other classics like salsa roja, salsa macha, tacos, tlacoyos, and tostadas — all by hand and with the guidance of our grandmother, who shares her love and wisdom through every step.
As we cook, your host Luis will share the stories, tips, and techniques he’s learned from his mother and grandmother, making this not just a cooking class, but a celebration of the rich, pre-Hispanic heritage of Mexican food.
Come cook, learn, and connect — the Mexican way.

✅ Before You Book: What to Expect
You’re not just joining a cooking class — you’re stepping into a living tradition in the heart of the Mexican mountains.
This experience is hosted by Luis and his family, who will welcome you into their home, surrounded by nature and local history. Their family has lived in this village for generations and knows every story, every plant, and every flavor that makes this land unique.
You’ll cook using traditional methods passed down through time — from grinding corn by hand to cooking over firewood, just like our grandparents did. These are techniques only locals know, and you’ll learn them directly from the source.
There’s no electricity in the village, so everything is done the traditional way — slow, conscious, and with care. That’s what makes this experience so special.
We recommend:
-
Wearing comfortable clothes that you don’t mind getting a little smoky or messy
-
Bringing a light jacket — mountain weather can be fresh even on warm days
-
Bringing some cash (MXN pesos) in case you want to buy local drinks or handmade souvenirs
-
Most importantly: bring your curiosity, your hunger, and your heart
This is a day to slow down, connect, and taste the real Mexico — from fire to table.
