Corn is a very important ingredient in Guatemalan culture and people and one of the first foods prepared by Mayans was tamales. In this workshop, you will learn with a Mayan traditional cook how to prepare sweet and salty tamales with fresh criollo corn masa, local ingredients, and traditional culinary techniques.
10/10 experience! My brother and I had the best time learning to cook Pepian, Tamalitos, and Plantain Mole! Monica was an expert translator and teacher of the Guatemalan culture, while Maria and her brother were experts in the kitchen. We were involved in every step of the process and both dishes were so delicious. Thank you so much for the experience!!

10/10 Recommend this Coffee Tour This coffee tour was by far our favorite activity we did in Antigua!!! We are so grateful we signed up for the tour, especially on the first morning of our trip because it was a wonderful way to meet some locals and be introduced to Antigua. Our guide, Ivan, was incredible. He was very down-to-earth, knowledgeable about coffee and the culture in Antigua, extremely friendly, and seemed to have a very positive relationship with everyone we interacted with. Ivan took us to four different coffee shops, where the owners/managers gave us a coffee item/experience and a food item to match. They even were gracious enough to adjust last-minute to a food allergy in our group, and made this seem effortless.
Each coffee shop gave us a different type of coffee and taught us something unique about their coffee process. Everyone was very passionate about what they do, yet humble. They were all amazing conversationalists in English as well. We are incredibly impressed by the people we met and, of course, the coffee we had. If we ever are lucky enough to return to Antigua, we will absolutely be booking this tour again.

Book it!!!! I enjoyed my morning market tour with Rebeca & Kukul tales so much that I immediately booked this tour for the evening portion when it was mentioned there was a spot. It was the perfect evening. So much food. Wonderful people from all around the world. A mix of street food, restaurants and snazzy cocktail bars. It was perfect!
