In our classes, you will: You can choose the starting time of the tour from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Tour duration: Half day, 4 to 5 hours Cooking technique: In clay, earth, and wood.

To begin the gastronomic adventure, we will pick you up from your hotel in private transportation at the time you choose for the tour. We will go directly to the EL MORRO market, a wholesale market that distributes to all the markets in the city of Sucre. There we will buy fruits, vegetables, chicken, etc. Don't worry, we will give you money for your purchases. You will have 30 to 40 minutes to shop and interact with the ladies (Caseras) of the market. You will do the shopping on your own, with a printed menu in English and Spanish. The tour guide will accompany you without interfering, unless necessary. After shopping and visiting the El Morro market, we will head to the house (CHICHALICHE) for a 10-minute drive to start cooking. To start, we will do a 'MISE EN PLACE' with the products purchased for the preparation of the chicken in clay, where we will form groups of 2 to 3 people per team, depending on the number of participants in the cooking classes. Then we will give you an apron, ingredients, tools, utensils, dishes, paper, clay, and an oven for the first step, which is marinating the chicken in clay. It will then be wrapped in paper and covered with clay, placed in a clay oven, and cooked over a wood fire for 2 hours. After the first phase comes the tasting of the peanut soup with the family's original recipe, a national dish of Bolivia, accompanied by cocktails. We will teach you how to make a CHUFLAY, a typical Bolivian spirit, which we will also use to prepare a variety of fruit mojitos and a watermelon and goat cheese salad or a quinoa and mango salad. To end the tour, we take the chicken out of the oven after 2 hours of cooking, to open it and feel an explosion of flavors that will excite your taste buds, accompanied by toasted bread, salads, and mojitos. As an extra, we invite you to enjoy water and mate.
