DO NOT LEAVE MERIDA WITHOUT DOING THIS COOKING CLASS! I've traversed the globe as a travel writer and freelance journalist, and, well, we all know how that stopped in 2020. Craving a little travel, I took a small jaunt to Merida, as it's just a two-hour non-stop flight from Miami, and I read that Merida citizens take Covid seriously, wear masks, take everyone's temperatures when entering stores, sanitize shops, etc. I can confirm this is all true. We booked this cooking class not knowing what to expect and I AM SO GLAD WE DID. Alejandro rounded the corner and met us at an open-air plaza, mask-on, and explained how the day would run -- first a visit to markets to select all the ingredients for the cooking class, then an Uber ride (two ubers to safely accommodate four of us) to a local woman's house for the class. ALL OF IT was BEYOND FUN to have a guide like Alejandro to lead us through market selections, explaining local ingredients (spices, vegetables, tortillas, etc), where they were sourced, how they were used, the history of local dishes, how they became popular - he is a fountain of information. The spice sellers explained spices we've never seen, how/where they're grown, how they're used and in what dishes. Everyone takes their time. Alejandro's English is perfect, so if you prefer English to Spanish, he's your man. The woman in whose house we cooked opened up her home as if we were long-lost relatives. Under her tutelage, we happily cut, chopped, mixed and blended our way to the most delicious lunch around a beautiful table with such camaraderie, anyone who has missed family dinners during the pandemic will feel an overwhelming sense of joy and companionship. This is a magical day, as you walk El Centro in Merida to a couple of markets, select vegetables and spices, and finally, cook at a local's house, all under the congenial guidance of the exuberant guide, Alejandro, who clearly loves what he does. Seriously, don't leave Merida without experiencing this class. You're enriching your heart and your palate, helping the local economy, making indelible memories, and gaining insight into local cuisine you likely otherwise wouldn't. Oh - and BONUS -- Alejandro emails you a PHENOMENAL RECIPE BOOK after the class so you can purchase spices before you leave and continue the fun at home. Truly, this is one of the best experiential tours I've taken in a long time.

What a great experience! Pamela took us through Centro and the barrio of Santiago to the market. We discussed all the traditional Yucatecan dishes and the Spanish influence before we ate at a lovely taqueria in the Santiago market. But it wasn't over, we went to Blue Marlin for ceviche and finally ending at Pola for gelato. It was a great tour I recommend to everyone.

My partner and I had the best time with Alejandro on our street food walking tour. We tried amazing food, ice cream, went to the local market and tired local snacks. Alejandro is so warm and friendly- it was like hanging out with a friend. His knowledge about the history, culture of Yucatan and the region's food was very impressive. This was one of my highlights of my trip to Mexico. I highly recommend it, you wont be disappointed!

I used Adventures Mexico for two different tours. They were small group tours, 8 or us on one of the tours and 4 on the other. The mini vans were comfortable. The guides were knowledgeable and helpful. The price felt reasonable and everything worked as it should. I would definitely use them again.

We absolutely loved this tour! It was one of our favorite things that we did in Merida. Seeing the market was incredible—so much life and color and activity and amazing food—but since it’s absolutely massive, it would’ve been tough to navigate well without a guide. Pame was the perfect person to take us through—she took us to excellent places and made the experience so much fun. She is so cheerful and full of light and life—all the vendors lit up when they saw her. Just a lovely person that we felt lucky to have spent time with.
