Authentic Guatemalan Cooking Class in Antigua

This was my favorite cooking class I’ve ever took. Especially the driver was the icing on the cake with his sense of humor. I would totally do it all over again. I haven’t had that much of a good time in a long time, left me feeling great to be able to connect with such great people and have a great cooking experience. Food was great.

It was a fun experience and we learned about the complex flavors of Guatemalan cuisine. The Cuscun team were very friendly and surprised me with a cake in celebration of my birthday! A wonderful time was had by all.

Claudia, Dario and Joaquín made sure I had the best experience, they were all very attentive and kind. Claudia even took out the metate and showed me how they use it traditionally to make the pepián. The visit to the mercado was great as well. I really recomend this experience to anyone that wants to have a great time while learning about Guatemalan food!

Amazing! I tried to upload photos but the system wouldn’t load them. Highly recommend this experience.

Everything about our experience with Cuscun Cooking School was wonderful! I was honestly a bit hesitant about booking a class for 8 people with only the TripAdvisor reviews to go on, but I am so glad we found and participated in this cooking class. It truly was one of the highlights of our visit to Guatemala. From the time the shuttle picked us up to the end of the evening, everything was taken care of. We had a very thoughtful guide/translator, a wonderful chef, and great food in a beautiful rooftop setting. Our group ranged in age from 25 to 65, and everyone enjoyed the evening/event.

Great experience! My teacher, Claudia, was so passionate and helpful. And the translator, Ally was also super helpful and very friendly. I highly recommend this experience!

This class was awesome!! There isn't anything I would've added or taken out of the overall experience - it was pretty much perfect. Joaquin (chef) had a great personality and made the class super fun, and our translator Allie was super nice as well. Overall, highly recommend for a good time & good food.

I’ve been to Guatemala many times and have done many touristy things. This was by far one of THE most fun things I’ve ever done in the country. My boyfriend and I had so much more fun than we thought we’d have. Pickup was super convenient, getting there was so easy, I was so excited to go to jocotenango. We cooked and ate on the rooftop during sunset, and it was amazing. It got a little chilly once the sun actually went down, but if you just bring a sweater, you’ll be fine. They also have blankets if you don’t bring one. Our cooking teacher was so fun and sweet to cook with, as was our translator. Both were very involved in the experience too and were cooking right with us, which made the experience more personal, which I loved. We learned a lot about the food we were cooking, as well as Guatemala as a country. We will definitely do this again the next time we are in Antigua, and I would recommend this experience 100 times over again to anyone!

Had an amazing time learning how to make pepian using Guatemalan cooking techniques! Beautiful sunset view on the rooftop kitchen. Hosts were really friendly and fun. Great cultural experience, connecting with locals over great homemade food!

Had a blast learning to cook Guatemalan food. Everything was fantastic and I couldn't recommend more highly!
