Overview

This is not a cooking class or a typical food tour, it’s a juicy, flavor-packed dive into Mexico’s tropical bounty, led by a local fruit enthusiast.

If you choose the full experience, you’ll begin with a guided walk through a traditional market in Playa del Carmen, where your host will handpick and open a variety of exotic fruits for you to try, some familiar, others wildly unexpected. Prefer to skip the market? You can opt for the tasting session only, in a relaxed setting.

While tasting, you’ll learn about:

Nutritional benefits

Cultural roots and regional stories

Seasonal availability and local farming

Traditional uses in Mexican cuisine, drinks, and even remedies

From tart guanábana to creamy mamey, spicy tamarind to refreshing pitaya, this experience will awaken your taste buds and immerse you in the flavors of the Yucatán and beyond.

What's Included

  • Snacks all the fruits you will eat are included
  • Any other fruit, food or drink you would like to buy for your own.
