Meet your host Anilú at her restaurant and B&B in Urubamba, in Peru’s beautiful Sacred Valley. Begin with a guided visit to a local Urubamba market, traveling by mototaxi, a local three-wheeled taxi. Explore colorful produce and regional ingredients as Anilú introduces you to foods used in everyday Peruvian cooking and shares insights into local life and culinary traditions.

Return to Anilú’s outdoor kitchen for a private, hands-on Peruvian cooking class. Prepare an appetizer and main course, choosing from traditional dishes such as ceviche, causa, lomo saltado, tacu tacu or arroz chaufa. Learn local cooking techniques, from properly cutting fish for ceviche to balancing its bright, citrusy flavors. After cooking, sit down together to enjoy the authentic Peruvian meal you’ve prepared, accompanied by wine or traditional pisco sours.
