As you cook over the fire, you’ll pick up practical techniques you can easily use again at home, and your host will capture candid photos so you can remember the experience long after it ends. Follow the step-by-step guidance, taking notes if you like. Many of the ingredients are easy to find around the world, making the recipes simple to recreate later. You’ll also receive our digital recipe book and a curated Cusco Food Guide to keep exploring local flavors during the rest of your trip.

BBQ tasting class

I had such a wonderful experience with this tasting class in Peru! It was a fun and a good way to learn more about Peruvian cuisine and culture. The instructor was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience enjoyable and easy to follow. The food we prepared was delicious, and I loved learning about the local ingredients, traditional techniques, and the stories behind the dishes. It was a great experience from start to finish, and definitely one of the highlights of my time in Peru. ...read more

Good views, vibes and food.

Very knowledgeable chef! Nice food, and vibes! BBQ was great with lots of traditional food. If want to try the Peruvian beef heart, but are hesitant to try from the street vendors Def try it here. Very fresh and good quality food. Super nice views of the city too, can see the whole city (and without having to slog up all of the hills)

Bbq food tour

A fun experience in Cusco. Victor was very knowledgeable explaining all of the ingredients and the food was delicious. Also a good way to try new foods. Was a nice experience with friends to sit on the lovely terrace with drinks looking over the city while the bbq was cooking.

Tasting different vegetables and meat

It is cooked with fresh vegetables, where the guide takes you along with what he uses with an explanation. You can look along or comfortably enjoy the beautiful view. It was a fun experience, where you were taken along in the process and could enjoy the outdoors and the sun!

Amazing barbecue

We’ve had an amazing experience. Victor showed us everything and explained very well. The food and drinks tasted really great. They also provided enough really tasty vegetarian options. I think the only thing is, that most of the vegetarian people would prefer the vegetables being prepared separately from the meat.

Thank you for your thoughtful review! 🔥 We're so happy you enjoyed the barbecue experience with Chef Victor and appreciated the delicious food, drinks, and vegetarian options. We also truly appreciate your helpful suggestion regarding separate preparation for vegetarian dishes, and we'll certainly keep it in mind as we continue improving the experience. We hope to welcome you back again!
