About this activity

Discover Caribbean flavors with Darshan, a local chef with deep roots in Puerto Viejo.

Their culinary knowledge has been handed down for generations since their ancestors came to this land, turning each recipe into a journey through time and Afro-Caribbean culture. In this practical class, you will learn how to prepare authentic dishes with fresh ingredients and traditional techniques that you can apply in your home.

Rather than a cooking class, it is a cultural experience:

✔️ You will cook alongside the chef in a warm and familiar atmosphere

✔️ You will know the history and origin of each dish

✔️ You will live a direct connection to local identity through flavors

Ideal for those looking for authentic experiences, human contact and real gastronomic learning. It's not just cooking, it's Caribbean soul in every bite!
