Highlights

This is not a typical cooking class. With over 400 five-star reviews, it’s one of the most highly rated culinary experiences in Cartagena. What truly sets it apart is the combination of authentic cooking, full hands-on participation, and a relaxed, social atmosphere. You won’t just watch—you’ll actively cook every step of the way, guided by a passionate local team trained by top professionals. The small-group format creates a more personal and engaging experience where every guest feels involved. Unlike more commercial classes, this experience feels natural and intimate—more like cooking with friends than attending a class.

About Cartagena

Cartagena, on Colombia's Caribbean coast, is a walled colonial port of flower-draped balconies, colourful plazas and warm, music-filled evenings.

The walled old city, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a maze of cobbled streets and squares lined with pastel houses, churches and bougainvillea. The Clock Tower gate leads into Plaza de los Coches, and the cathedral, the Church of San Pedro Claver and the Palace of the Inquisition are all within a few blocks. Walking the thick ramparts at sunset is a local ritual.

Top-ranked sights in Cartagena: Rosario Islands (Islas del Rosario), Old Town Cartagena, Santo Domingo Church (Iglesia de Santo Domingo).
