WOW, this was an incredible experience!! I created a weeklong itinerary full of bucket list activities for my family's trip to the Riviera Maya and this was BY FAR the highlight of the trip. We had a great time learning how to make Sikil P'ak (a Mayan pumpkin seed dip), walking through their garden, and then watched them dig up a chicken they cooked for us in the pib (the chicken was DELICIOUS btw). I didn't really know what to expect when I booked this, but it exceeded all of our expectations. I highly recommend this to anyone visiting Chichén Itzá, Valladolid, the cenotes in the area and want to learn about Mayan cuisine/culture......go here!! You won't regret it!!

We also enjoyed an amazing dinner at Ix Kat Ik and were chatting with the owner about our desire to learn more about the food and how it is made and he invited us out to their property outside of Valladolid to do just that. We were welcomed by their family and they spent to next several hours cooking with us -- and we ate a multi-course meal. The food and the experience were fantastic. The family was so friendly and gracious and proud of the Mayan culture and food and delighted to share it. The physical surroundings, including a garden and a thatched pavillion, were lovely. Basically, ever detail of the experience and the surroundings were creatively and carefully thought through. If you want to support and learn about present day Mayan culture, I would highly recommend this experience.

A wonderful day in nature ❤ Never saw anything like this, when we arrive a very friendly family was waiting for us👪. The place was very quiet, you can feel the wind and hear the birds singing. They have chickens, fish and his obedient puppy german shepherd Roky🐶 Mrs Irma was kind enough to providing us with so much intriguing information about how our food is cooked and the ingredients. We had a tradicional mayan dish, a chicken with recado rojo Achiote and handmade tortilla, that was cooked underground!!! The best chicken dish I've had, finally they gave us a nice tour of their own garden with the ingredients they use and we didn't have time to swin in their beautiful pool, Definitely can't wait to return here and stay in the mayan huts.

Es una experiencia totalmente diferente y deliciosa, el trato es muy amable desde la reserva hasta el final, vale completamente la pena, además comes super bien y lo típico de la región. Te reciben con agua de chaya, muy refrescante, y comienzan con la preparación de los alimentos haciéndote partícipe, junto con la explicación de todo lo que de está realizando y el origen del mismo. La gran mayoría de sus ingredientes los hacen desde cero, y muchos los sacan de la misma aldea.

Maravilloso lugar, riquísima comida y la atención ni que decir, un lugar único diferente en dónde podrás vivir una verdadera experiencia, disfrutamos mucho de la clase de cocina, todo fresco y orgánico. Nos enseñaron a preparar nuestras tortillas a mano, definitivamente recomendado.

Vinimos buscando la oportunidad de descubrir más acerca de la cultura y gastronomía maya y la experiencia fue inmejorable. Cada detalle está cuidado al máximo y además de disfrutar de la cena también participamos en las distintas elaboraciones. Fue un placer ser parte de esta experiencia y apoyar este proyecto para preservar la cultura maya, gracias por todo!
