Description

This is not a cooking class or a typical food tour, it’s a juicy, flavor-packed dive into Mexico’s tropical bounty, led by a local fruit enthusiast. If you choose the full experience, you’ll begin with a guided walk through a traditional market in Mexico city, where your host will handpick and open a variety of exotic fruits for you to try, some familiar, others wildly unexpected. Prefer to skip the market? You can opt for the tasting session only, in a relaxed setting. While tasting, you’ll learn about: Nutritional benefits Cultural roots and regional stories Seasonal availability and local farming Traditional uses in Mexican cuisine, drinks, and even remedies From tart guanábana to creamy mamey, spicy tamarind to refreshing pitaya, this experience will awaken your taste buds and immerse you in the flavors of the Yucatán and beyond.
