Cooking class
Such a wonderful experience! Jesus was a great guide with excellent knowledge of the food and culture. We started by visiting the local market, where we got to try a variety of delicious, fresh fruits and learn more about the local ingredients. We then made traditional pisco sours and learned how to prepare Lomo saltado. Everything was fun, interactive, and a great way to experience Peruvian culture through its food. The experience was a highlight of my trip to Peru, and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting! 🇵🇪🍹🍽️

Why this scores 77
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Cooking Class: Lomo Saltado, PapaHuancaina, Pisco Sour, Picarones: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does Cooking Class: Lomo Saltado, PapaHuancaina, Pisco Sour, Picarones cost?
+
Prices start at $50 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cusco usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Cooking Class: Lomo Saltado, PapaHuancaina, Pisco Sour, Picarones take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cusco is not rushed.
Is Cooking Class: Lomo Saltado, PapaHuancaina, Pisco Sour, Picarones worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 103 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Cooking Class: Lomo Saltado, PapaHuancaina, Pisco Sour, Picarones?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Cooking Class: Lomo Saltado, PapaHuancaina, Pisco Sour, Picarones suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Cooking Class: Lomo Saltado, PapaHuancaina, Pisco Sour, Picarones?
+
Around 36 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cusco can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cusco and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cooking Class: Lomo Saltado, PapaHuancaina, Pisco Sour, Picarones start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cusco within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cusco?
+
On Outty we rank every Cusco experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sacred Valley Full Day Tour, Full-Day Humantay Lake Trek (Meals Included), Cusco: Rainbow Mountain & Red Valley Premium Day Trip with Meals. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cusco?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cusco?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
