Cusco market tour and Peruvian cooking class with Chef Ronald. Taste breads, cheeses, fruits, then cook dishes and Pisco Sours.

“What an amazing experience that was both fun and educational! I really felt by the end of the class I knew more about Peru, its people, and how they eat on a regular basis. Ronal is an exceptional chef and crafted great recipes for us to try, either ceviche or lomo saltado. The bonus dish was stuffed Peruvian peppers and of course the pisco sour. Ronal took care for each step, chopping properly, tasting, and giving an honest opinion about alpaca and guinea pig. I felt he was authentic, never catering to touristy ideas in an informative way.

“Very nice tour. Unfortunately, we were experiencing altitude sickness. So when you arrive to Cuzco, give yourself a day to acclimatize. Drink tea, soup, no red meats just chicken. Stop by one of the local pharmacies and get some altitude sickness pills. We were sick for the entire tour, but the tour itself was really really good. Our guide Henry was extremely knowledgeable and showed us some very cool things! We just wish we weren’t sick during the tour. Also, take some Sol(Peruvian Money) with you in case you need to use the bathrooms. Most places charge 1-2 Sol to use the bathroom. There are very few places that have…”
