Mayan Cooking Class

Mayan Family Cooking Experience in Coba – Living Dreams Signature Immerse yourself in the heart of Mayan culture with an intimate visit to a local family in the Coba region. Your experience begins with a traditional Mayan blessing ceremony, a warm and meaningful welcome that sets the tone for the cultural journey ahead. Together with your hosts, you’ll assist in lighting the pib, the ancient Mayan earth oven used for centuries to slow-cook ceremonial meals. Under their guidance, you’ll prepare a traditional Mayan spice rub and baste organic, free-range chicken before lowering it into the pib to cook slowly beneath the earth. While the meal transforms in the oven, learn to make Tzikipak, a flavorful pumpkin-seed salsa made completely by hand, and craft fresh tortillas from scratch using organic, nixtamalized corn dough. This is the true taste of the Mayan world—authentic, ancestral, and shared with a family who lives it every day. Once your meal is ready, sit down to enjoy the feast you helped prepare. After lunch, visit the family’s small artisan shop, where you’ll be gifted a taste of Xtabentún, a delicious and aromatic Mayan liqueur made from anise and honey. Your experience continues with a refreshing visit to a beautiful cenote, where you can swim, relax, and take in the natural beauty of the region before returning to your hotel. A meaningful blend of culture, cuisine, and nature
