Hanal Pixán Cooking Class

Celebrate Yucatán’s Day of the Dead tradition through a seasonal cooking experience dedicated to Hanal Pixán, the Maya tradition of honoring loved ones who have passed away. Hanal Pixán means “Food for the Souls” in Maya. During this celebration, families prepare special foods and gather to welcome and honor the souls of their loved ones. Begin with a guided visit to Lucas de Gálvez and San Benito markets, where you’ll shop for the fresh local ingredients used in your Hanal Pixán menu while discovering traditional Yucatecan products. Then, head to an authentic local home for a hands-on cooking class. Guided by a local cook, you’ll prepare a special menu created exclusively for the Hanal Pixán season and learn about the traditional dishes, ingredients, and cooking techniques associated with the celebration. This seasonal experience combines a local market visit, hands-on cooking, and Yucatecan Day of the Dead traditions in an authentic home setting.
