“This was such an amazing experience. Marco and the rest of the staff were so friendly, fun and knowledgeable. The experience is held in the most beautiful location. We did it with our 8, 9 and 11 year olds and they all loved it. The team helped them were needed and they managed to participate in the whole experience. The food was lovely also. Right from booking the Andean Colours staff couldn’t have been more helpful with helping us with transport etc too. Would highly recommend this experience to anybody!”

“THIS IS THE BEST THING I DID IN CUSCO!!!! I was in Cusco for 5 days and this was by far the highlight. I saw all the 5 star reviews for this workshop so I was very excited for this day but I still didn’t know what to expect. Now after I have done the experience this was probably one of the top 5 best days of my life. Everything was seamless and beautifully curated. It was amazing to have an entire day where I didn’t have to make any logistical decisions or worry about food, transportation, etc. Edwin and his father led me through their deep cultural and historical…”

“Well, I didn’t have the option for 10 stars, but that’s how I would rate our experience with Christian. What a high quality, up scale, informative, and fun time. The market tour and fruit tasting was exceptional, don’t skip that part. Then the cooking and eating adventure was just fun and delicious. I would recommend this tour to anyone who loves food, fun, and learning about a different culture. Fabulous experience.”

“Great experience with Dasha at the market. She really knew her fruits and was very nice. Arriving at the cooking school we were served drinks and tried fruits from the market as she explained each one. After we made step by step each dish guided by local chef Camila Don’t miss this activity next time you are in Lima.”
