We had a great morning - Pablo was a lovely guide. He and the rest of the crew were kind and helpful. We had a lovely trip to the market and then the salsa cooking. We learnt a lot!

Great class! It's a fantastic way to spend half a day getting hands on experience making 5 salsas. Each one was delicious!! Beautiful lunch setting afterward with the handmade tortillas, quesadillas, and memlas. The class was from 10:30 -2 with lunch. Highly recommend!
Highly recommend! First we shopped for local produce, then - hands on! we roasted some chilis, peanuts, sesame seeds, & tomatoes, sauteed pineapple, chopped and ground up the combined ingredients, making 5 very different salsas. We then made tortillas and quesadillas & had a lunch with our salsas, a refreshing drink and fresh fruit.
