Peruvian Cooking Experience — Attraction in Arequipa

Update - I’m responding to the experiences response. I’ve attached the booking confirmation with the prices of $32 per person… if the website tells you this don’t believe it.

It is a reasonable experience and the instructor was very nice; however, it loses points for: being a different price from the price stated when booked.

I spent a good moment thanks to the chef but honestly the class is...

Cooking from scratch made us appreciate the depth and flavor of Peruvian cuisine even more—and the end result was absolutely delicious. Every bite was a celebration of tradition and taste. Ally’s warmth and energy made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this for anyone looking to dive into Peruvian flavors in a fun,...
