Antigua: Rellenito Cooking Class with a Local Family｜Guatemala

Make your way to a family home in San Antonio Aguas Calientes, a Mayan village just 30 minutes from Antigua. Meet your hosts and learn about their family project, "NOBI - Pedacito de Guatemala," which is dedicated to creating unique Guatemalan products to help promote the local economy.

Begin your cooking class and learn how to make rellenitos, one of Guatemala's most popular desserts. Discover how this dish is an unexpected fusion of three cultures: Garifuna (plantain), Mayan (chocolate and beans), and Spanish (sugar and cinnamon).

Learn the history of this dish and follow special recipes handed down from mother to daughter. Use the finest Guatemalan ingredients, including our premium organic cacao from Alta Verapaz.

At the end of the class, enjoy a cup of hot beverage and rellenitos freshly fried to eat still hot, and some extra to take home.
