Trip Info
The cooking class Cartagena tour is a unique experience lived by Anthony Bourdain – see and test exotic fruits with great flavors, colors and all sorts of shapes and tropical juices. Get to know the local coconut rice or try the “empanadas”; this awesome experience will set unforgettable memories on your tongue, this is a unique tour for people who enjoy experiencing what it is like to cook a traditional Cartagenian meal with local, fresh ingredients from an open air market. Additionally, you have the opportunity to cook in the kitchen of a Cartagena family in their neighborhood outside the walls of the Centro Historico, the “other” Cartagena. Round-trip transportation is provided from your hotel and you will be provided with private transport, and a kitchen at a local house.
The open market & cooking class Cartagena tour includes:
1) Your choice of a couple of local dishes to prepare and eat.
2) A walking tour of the open-air market, where you purchase the needed ingredients and taste fried snacks (arepae’huevo, carimanola, papa rellena) and exotic fruits and juices. You will experience the pulse of an authentic community market.
3) At a local family’s home, you will learn how to prepare your traditional dishes and then enjoy the delicious meal.
You will be picked up at your hotel or meeting point by a Van or an air conditioned vehicle, the chef will be waiting for you at the open market. In this place you will be able to select the appropriate ingredients for your meal – of course the chef will give suggestions for what you need to buy according to the Menu of the day.
