What To Expect
Discover a different side of Puerto Vallarta with an authentic Mexican cooking experience at Rancho Mi Abuelo, a traditional ranch surrounded by mountains and nature.
Your experience begins at our designated meeting point in Puerto Vallarta, where round-trip transportation to the ranch is included. Enjoy the scenic ride away from the busy tourist area and into the peaceful countryside.
Once at Rancho Mi Abuelo, cook alongside our local hosts and learn traditional Mexican techniques passed down through generations. Make handmade tortillas, prepare fresh salsa and guacamole in a traditional molcajete, and take part in preparing an authentic chile relleno or Mexican sope.
After cooking, sit down and enjoy the meal you helped prepare, followed by a guided tequila tasting where you can discover the flavors and traditions of Mexico’s famous agave spirit.
The experience doesn’t end in the kitchen. After your meal, relax and cool off in the ranch’s natural spring pools, surrounded by mountains and tropical nature.
More than just a cooking class, this is an opportunity to cook, eat, relax, and experience authentic Mexican ranch life just outside Puerto Vallarta.
