Fun cooking class
We had an amazing time at Marcelo Batata Cooking Classes! The food was fantastic, and the whole experience was so much fun. Fernando, our chef, was informative, entertaining, and made the class enjoyable from start to finish. He even described himself as a “sexy chef” 😂 — and honestly, he delivered! The Pisco tasting was awesome, too. Definitely try the passion fruit Pisco sour — it was our favourite! If you’re visiting Cusco and want to experience Peruvian cuisine in a fun, hands-on way, this cooking class is a MUST. Great food, great drinks, and great laughs. Highly recommend! 🇵🇪🍹👨🍳

Why this scores 83
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Group Cooking Class in Cusco with Pisco Tasting: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does Group Cooking Class in Cusco with Pisco Tasting cost?
+
Prices start at $99 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 Group Cooking Class in Cusco with Pisco Tasting 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 Group Cooking Class in Cusco with Pisco Tasting worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 83 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 379 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 Group Cooking Class in Cusco with Pisco Tasting?
+
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 Group Cooking Class in Cusco with Pisco Tasting 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 Group Cooking Class in Cusco with Pisco Tasting?
+
Around 133 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 Group Cooking Class in Cusco with Pisco Tasting 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.
What is included in Group Cooking Class in Cusco with Pisco Tasting?
+
Included: Meals; Alcoholic beverages; Soft Beverages; Snacks; and Class Led by a Professional Chef. Not included: Gratuities; and Hotel pickup and drop-off. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Group Cooking Class in Cusco with Pisco Tasting?
+
Palacio Street is right behind the Cathedral of Cusco (the main church at the main square). Beside our UCHU Peruvian Steak House Restaurant Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Group Cooking Class in Cusco with Pisco Tasting offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Group Cooking Class in Cusco with Pisco Tasting?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
What happens to Group Cooking Class in Cusco with Pisco Tasting if the weather is bad?
+
It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Cusco. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
