MAYAN COOKING CLASS WITH CHEF LUCY

Cooking with Chef Lucy

Join us for a day of culinary and cultural immersion. Visit the Tres Reyes Mayan community ready to roll up your sleeves learning to prepare a classic Mayan dish as featured on the Netflix Series Chef’s Table.

Start by swimming in a beautiful cenote right in the middle of the jungle (swimming not mandatory). At the same location, continue to explore a second cenote with a fascinating view of a karstic landscape.

After an immersion in the magical world of the sacred waters of the Mayas, already purified in flesh and spirit, proceed to Doña Lucy’s family home where you will make tortillas and a variety of Mayan delicacies.

While your meal slowly simmers in a ground oven, participate in a traditional Mayan blessing given by the community’s shaman. After this incredible experience, prepare yourself to enjoy the delicious fruits of your labor of love.

Bon Appetit.
