Cook ancient Mayan recipes in Cozumel at Ix Kool. Make tortillas and guacamole, learn the culture, then enjoy a full meal.

“This was the second time that I arranged for a group of friends to take this Mayan cooking class. The food and class were excellent again. Everyone enjoyed the experience and the food. However: 1) we booked a private class for 13 people, but there was another group there which stretched the resources (too many people at one time for one instructor); 2) please consider having all people who handle food for others (e.g., when making tortillas) use gloves because hand sanitizer isn't sufficient; 3) put a banister/railing on the very steep stairs going to the restrooms (they are too difficult for some people to manage and some had to…”

6.KUZÁ Beach Day, Buffet, Open Bar & Mexican Flavors Class

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 187 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $89

KUZÁ Beach Day in Cozumel pairs a hands-on Mexican flavors cooking class with a private beachfront, buffet, and open bar.

“Let me say that the staff at Kuza was very nice but that's pretty much the only positive for me. Taxi rides to and from the park were very expensive. Pretty much predatory and there is absolutely no mention of that cost when booking the excursion. Just FYI it cost $65 for 2 adults and 3 kids one way. We were told we could negotiate but once they know you have reservations, you're at their mercy. When we arrived at Kuza, we were taken back to the beach and told that our Mexican flavors class was at 9:15am and then another staff member told us 9:30. We arrived around 9:20…”

Cancún cooking class with tortilla making, guacamole tips, and an included margarita, plus optional local market tour and 4-course meal.

“Nissam was our chef and he was amazing! My husband and I were the only 2 in this group. Getting ingredients at the local market is so different than in a commercialized setting; so fresh and colorful. For the class, we made guacamole, chicken enchiladas, quesadilla, and sopas. We pressed our own tortillas with actual masa, made the red cause from scratch and the guacamole was made from all fresh ingredients! Both the guacamole and enchilada sauce were customized to our spice preference. The food was amazing (and the included margarita was perfection) and we left full and content!!!! Highly recommended.”

Mayan jungle Mexican cooking class with 6 courses, organic garden herbs, tequila fiesta, and recipe book, near Cancun.

“5-Star excursion all the way! We had a pleasant gentleman pick us up from our hotel which was 40 minutes from Chef Alejandra's kitchen. Roundtrip fare was approx. $90- we had 4 people in our party and we picked up another couple on the way- so the experience was max. 6 people. The property was secluded in the Mayan lush jungle like atmosphere- there was a very large garden with many fruits and vegetables. It was a rainy day but it did not spoil the fun as was most indoors or under a pavilion ourdoors. I suggest wearing comfy shoes to walk around as the outdoor garden area. THere was…”

Chocolate Workshop in Cozumel: make a Mayan cacao chocolate bar, taste samples, and learn how to recreate it at home in 90 minutes.

“My parents and I were on a cruise and found that there weren't any excursions they offered that we wanted to do so when I found this on Viator we thought this workshop would be a great way to spend a couple of hours of our time in Cozumel and we were not disappointed. Our guide Patty was wonderful. First we were given a history of Mayan Cocoa which contained many interesting facts then we had the opportunity to taste freshly made corn tortillas before moving on the the making of Chocolate. It was hard work using the Mortar and Pestle but lots of fun. We had a great time.…”
