Lunch

Cook carimañolas — Colombia's crispy fried yuca fritters — in a hands-on class inside a real Bogotá family home. Discover the African-Colombian roots of this iconic street food and the regional cooking secrets of Colombia's Caribbean coast. Your host Andres studied at Colombia's top culinary university and cooks alongside Doña, the family matriarch who has been making carimañolas for decades. The class unfolds in 5 hands-on steps: 1. Select the Cassava — learn to identify fresh yuca by texture and freshness, the first secret to great carimañolas. 2. Craft the Filling — Colombian spices and aromatics from the Caribbean coast, made from scratch. 3. Fry Your Carimañolas — shape, stuff, and fry until golden. Crispy outside, molten inside. 4. Learn the Secrets — discover the African culinary heritage behind this iconic Colombian dish. 5. Taste & Celebrate — enjoy carimañolas, Pastel de Yuca, Colombian Guacamole, and fresh Lulo juice together. Vegan-friendly options available upon request. Maximum 5 guests.

personal and kind experience

It was such a nice and very local experience! We were welcomed with such kindness and a heart warming environment. They even organised a little birthday treat, when they found out it was the birthday of one of us. They went above and beyond!! I would strongly recommend😇

It was a fantastic and very special experience to meet and cook with a local family in their home. Thank you so much for the delicious food and the beautiful memories.

Worthwhile

This experience was amazing! We went through the entire process of making a very special dish and the accompanying sides. The family was welcoming and very kind to us. The tour guide helped to translate and explain the process to us. This was a hands on experience in the sense that we were truly cooking and chopping! This is a full 4 hour experience.
