Cayo District, Belize: Cooking Class & Mayan Chocolate Making Experience. Bring your appetite and curiosity for this hands-on journey into Belizean flavors and traditions! Guided by your warm and knowledgeable host, Yesenia, you’ll start with a sweet, spiced plantain porridge before learning the art of tortilla-making, grinding corn on a metate, shaping it by hand, and cooking over an open fogon.
Dive into preparing Mayan Caldo, cassava, macal, and Belize’s beloved tamales. From picking plantain leaves to making masa, seasoning the filling, and folding each tamale, you’ll be part of every delicious step.
The grand finale? Roasting cacao beans, grinding them into a rich paste, and whisking up a traditional Mayan chocolate drink. Equal parts feast and cultural immersion, this experience will be one of your sweetest and most flavorful vacation memories.
At the end of your culinary experience, you will be transferred back to your rainforest resort.
