Private Colombian cooking class in Medellín with Daniela's family. Cook 2 to 3 dishes, eat together, get recipes and tips.

“Daniela and her mother were great hosts for our Colombian cooking class. We enjoyed the class and the meal. Daniela was very good at explaining what we were making and having for lunch. She also spent quite a bit of time talking about Medellin and Colombia. She offered numerous suggestions for places to see and restaurants to visit and sent those suggestions to us on WhatsApp so we had them for the rest of the trip. This was one of our first activities in Medellin so the recommendations were helpful. Definitely would recommend Daniela's class.”

3.Community project cooking class and Medellin social transformation tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 17 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $65

Join a Medellin social transformation walk and community cooking class at Vía Cocina, pick herbs from the rooftop, then eat your organic meal.

“This cooking class is a refreshing escape from everything else in Medellin. From the start trying a bunch of the local fruits, some of which are grown on the roof, is a perfect way to jumpstart the tastebuds. After that, you get to cooking. We made a main dish, two sides, and dessert. 2 of which are Colombian influence and two of which are from other countries that Brian has been to. I think the diversity is nice to promote other techniques and flavors. All in all, the meal is great, and you make enough for another plate. It's all healthy and rich and delicious. The best part of all…”
