Cooking Class on Santa Cruz Island
Cooking Class on Santa Cruz Island
We'll pick you up from your Santa Cruz Island hotel and take you to the Galapagos Frontier Reserve.
Upon arrival, we'll explore various trails of lava tunnels and encounter giant Galapagos tortoises. Along the way, we'll also pick fresh fruits and vegetables from different trees and organic gardens for an added experience. Nothing beats fresh ingredients straight from the source!
After harvesting, we'll head to the reserve's kitchen to whip up a mouthwatering, traditional Galapagos menu. A local chef will guide us through the cooking class, sharing the secrets behind these delectable local recipes, ensuring a truly appetizing experience as we learn how to prepare a starter, main course, and dessert.
Following our culinary adventure, we'll tuck into our delightful traditional lunch, savoring the delicious dishes we've crafted. We're confident that every bite will be a sensation for your tastebuds!
After lunch, we'll return to your hotel on Santa Cruz Island, where we will arrive after 4 hours of activity.
