Ollantina cooks Jenny and Ruth have joined forces to teach Peruvian home cooking. Join one of these two teachers to prepare some of Peru’s most beloved dishes. The class begins with a quick tour of the colorful Ollantaytambo market where you'll learn all about local foods and how best to choose them. You will then head to the well-equipped Awamaki kitchen and prepare a traditional drink, appetizer, and main course to enjoy together at their table.

The Awamaki cooking class was both culturally immersive and loads of fun! The hosts were exceptionally friendly and accommodating through the whole process. We highly recommend anyone staying in Ollantaytambo to give this a try. Thank you Awamaki!

I am so happy that I booked this cooking class with Awamaki. It was really fun and a great experience. Melissa was the Awamaki liason and translator, and Tina hosted and led the cooking class in her home. We briefly visited the local market, then went to Tina's home and started cooking the delicious meal. Overall, a wonderful and very special evening.

We selected this cooking class in Ollantaytambo based on Awamaki’s mission in the Andean communities but it well exceeded our expectations. Our family had a fantastic experience. Special thanks to Irma for taking us into her home. We enjoyed preparing the dinner then sitting down to the meal together. The food was delicious and we thoroughly enjoyed the company. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Chef Tina is incredibly warm and we felt so welcome in her home. It was great to learn how traditional dishes are made and socialize while the meal cooked. Highly recommend fitting this fun and educational experience into your stay in the Sacred Valley (the location in Ollantaytambo is easy to reach from the other towns as well!).
