Cooking Class in Xochimilco Boat with Cocinera Tradicional from Hidalgo

Hop aboard a colorful trajinera and float through the iconic canals of Xochimilco, guided by an indigenous Mexican chef with deep roots in ancestral cooking traditions. This experience goes beyond food—it’s about sharing stories, flavors in the most authentic way. As we say in Mexico, "Con el sazón se conquista el corazón."

The adventure begins with an introduction to traditional cooking tools such as the molcajete and metate (Mexico’s own mortar and pestle). Together, you’ll handcraft two signature salsas, discovering that great food—just like life—requires patience, teamwork, and a bit of spice. After all, Barriga llena, corazón contento.

Next, dive into the art of making tortillas by hand, just as it’s been done for centuries. This hands-on activity builds collaboration and communication, making every tortilla a small but tasty triumph.

To celebrate your culinary achievements, enjoy a tasting of pulque curado, an ancient beverage once considered sacred by the Aztecs. As you toast to your success, our chef will share the stories behind each recipe, passed down through generations, turning every bite into a connection with Mexico’s heritage.

As we say here, "Lo que bien se aprende, jamás se olvida." This journey isn’t just about cooking—it’s about preserving traditions, fostering community, and creating memories that go beyond the office walls. Every dish reflects the spirit of empowerment, sustainability, and joy that makes Mexico’s food so special.
