Guatemala Culinary Shore Excursion Itinerary
Our shore excursion starts with an early pick-up at Puerto Quetzal for 1.5 hrs.
Then, transfer to Antigua Guatemala, directly to the market, where we will pick fresh and high-quality products and get involved in the bargaining process when buying the groceries.
Then, please continue to our extraordinary kitchen in Jocotenango village, about 10 minutes from Antigua Guatemala.
The experience starts with describing the products we will use to prepare the typical dish.
Some options are Pepian, Kaq Ik, Suban-Ik, rice, and delicious desserts such as mole, rellenitos, or Ayote.
Recipes from generation to generation are still part of our identity and culture.
Today you are also a chef; let yourself go and feel like an expert Guatemalan chef helping to create the typical dish, chopping the vegetables, or stirring the boiling mix of chicken with spices.
Also, for making tortillas or enjoying a delicious glass of wine, the professionals will guide you to have the final product we want.
Now, the food is ready to be served in clay bowls created by local artisans, and you feel satisfied that you have completed your first typical dish with your hands.
After lunch, we are returning to the center of Antigua for short sightseeing of Antigua Guatemala.
In this city, the stories and legends of colonial times are still present along with the old paved streets; visit Central Park and the Cathedral Church. In the end, stop by the Jade Shop.
In Guatemala, we have a variety of colors of this precious mineral.
Being the most outstanding Lavanda, black, jaguar green, and imperial green, these fantastic shades make the jade a nation proud.
After the culinary shore excursion, return to Puerto Quetzal on time for your set sail.
