Staying true to our mission, each day you'll be guided by one of the country’s top chefs through hands-on cooking lessons. This is your chance to uncover the secrets of local cuisine while savoring every delicious bite you create. Whether you’re a food lover who enjoys private chef-prepared meals, an accomplished cook looking to sharpen your skills, or a beginner in the kitchen, these lessons will be fun, educational, and fulfilling.
Beyond cooking, you’ll have the chance to participate in surf lessons, yoga sessions, and sound healing experiences. The trip also includes a day trip to a charming city, where we’ll uncover hidden gems, explore local markets, and visit historical landmarks. Each evening, you’ll have the option to gather around a bonfire with the group or escape to a private spot to watch the sun set, painting the sky with breathtaking colors.

Get ready to make new friends, learn new skills, and create memories that will last a lifetime!
"I truly believe that the way people cook and eat tells you so much about their history, traditions, and way of life. Each dish has a story to tell."
