Cooking Class on Santa Cruz Island

We'll pick you up from your Santa Cruz Island hotel and take you to the Galapagos Frontier Reserve.

Upon arrival, we'll explore lava tunnels and encounter giant Galapagos tortoises. You can also pick fresh fruits and vegetables from various trees and organic gardens.

After harvesting, we'll head to the reserve's kitchen to prepare a traditional Galapagos menu. A local chef will guide us in making a starter, main course, and dessert.

Following our culinary adventure, we'll enjoy our delightful traditional lunch. After 4 hours of activity, we'll return to your hotel on Santa Cruz Island.
