The San Pedro Market is the main supply point in the city, where tourists and locals come daily. This place was part of the Inca Trail that connected to Plaza de Armas, during the Inca Empire. The food tour continues with a short walk until reach the cooking studio located very near from the market in the historic center of Cusco. The kitchen will be ready to start the Peruvian cooking classes. You will start the class making a Peruvian cocktail known as Pisco Sour. This traditional alcoholic drink is made with Pisco, a grape distillated liquor, with passion fruit juice. The professional chef will explain, step by step, how to prepare a 4-course menu with basic cooking techniques. We will start by preparing the first course, a delightful Mashua Cream accompanied by purple corn chips. Mashua is a tuber harvested in the high Andean regions of several South American countries, quite similar to potatoes, and it possesses beneficial nutritional properties. For the second course, you will prepare three different types of ceviche. One will be the classic style with red onion and coriander. The second will be an ancestral style with tumbo juice, a fruit native to the high jungle in the Andes, akin to passion fruit and rich in vitamin C. The third ceviche will consist of kushuro (high Andean algae), tarwi (Andean soy), and camu camu, offering an explosion of flavors. In the third course, you are going to cook an exquisite rocoto pepper stuffed with mushrooms and vegetables, accompanied by an organic garden salad and a smooth, creamy potato pie. Rocoto is a type of chili pepper, so it carries a spicy kick. For the potato pie, you will use three different types of potatoes. You will taste each of your dishes at the end of each course to relish the traditional Peruvian cuisine made with your own hands and share a pleasant moment with the rest of the group. You will also sample non-alcoholic beverages like Chicha Morada, a sweet drink made from purple corn. In the fourth course, you are going to savor desserts made with aromatic and fresh exotic fruits, such as lucuma, goldenberries, and cherimoya.

Cusco Cooking Class with San Pedro Market Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does Cusco Cooking Class with San Pedro Market Tour 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 Cusco Cooking Class with San Pedro Market Tour take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Cusco Cooking Class with San Pedro Market Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 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 Cusco Cooking Class with San Pedro Market Tour?
+
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 Cusco Cooking Class with San Pedro Market Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Cusco Cooking Class with San Pedro Market Tour?
+
Around 0 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cusco Cooking Class with San Pedro Market Tour 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.
