Prepared yourself for a unique gastronomic lesson, as you arrive at the residence of Doña Mara’s for an exciting tortilla-making lesson! Doña Mara and her husband will welcome you with a tropical drink (pineapple, orange, coconut water) at her “rancho” (like a gazebo), where she will prepare a delicious, traditional lunch on her rustic, wood-fired stove. The entire family will enjoy getting their hands dirty as they mix corn masa and water to create the dough for some delicious homemade tortillas.

Doña Mara will demonstrate how to flatten the masa dough into perfect circles, and get them ready for cooking. These delicious homemade tortillas will then accompany the lunch served this afternoon (included).

This tour will make you a tortilla maker expert!
