About this experience
Meet your host Jorge at his home and drive to the local market together. Jorge will give you a tour of the market and you may even buy fresh ingredients to use in your cooking class later. Jorge offers a cooking demonstration, where you will learn to cook Chilean dishes in his home kitchen. His kitchen is a modest kitchen, so you might use the dining area for demonstrations and to prep the ingredients for your meal. The cooking portion of the experience will last approximately 1 hour, during which you will learn to make 1-2 dishes. A few dishes that you might try are palta reina with tuna (tuna stuffed avocado), fresh bruschetta with Chilean canned mussel, pastel de papas (a classic dish made in Chilean homes, not always found in restaurants, it is something close to a shepherd’s pie) and Chilean Papayas with cream. This is a wonderful opportunity to learn about Chilean culture and cuisine from a warm and welcoming local - you're sure in for a real treat!

A wonderful afternoon with
This was my first time doing a traveling spoon tour. We had a wonderful time with Jorge and Carolina. Carolina and Jorge altered the schedule for us because we needed to meet with them on a Monday and the market is closed. Instead we walked around the neighborhood and Jorge pointed out the native trees and foliage. I realized then that I was on a completely different continent and that I needed wake up and pay attention to the differences. This tour was like visiting old friends in their new town if your friend had a killer record collection and was a gourmet chef. Jorge did so much with just a few ingredients in a small kitchen. He was so knowledgeable about the local cuisine. Carolina was warm welcoming and spoke excellent English. We covered so many topics in an afternoon. I definitely want to try traveling spoon tours in other countries. We had a great half day with Jorge and Carolina.

Cooking like a local
Jorge and Caroline were very welcoming, like visiting old friends. We discovered new fruits from the local markets. Jorge was very good at explaining how he prepared our lunch. It was a fun experience for sure. Would repeat it !

Great Experience
We had a fun time with this experience. Jorge and his partner Anise (?) were so welcoming and friendly. It’s not an actual cooking class where you make a meal but you go to a street market, which was another great experience, for the food and you do get to watch Jorge cook while he explains everything. He’s a musician as well so we were able to enjoy his music through lunch. We learned a lot of information from them that was very helpful during our stay in Santiago. I really enjoyed their company and would recommend this event.

Chilean Cooking Class
This was a lovely experience in a private home in a beautiful part of Santiago, Chile. There were four participants and we all agreed that the chef was charming and informative. We count this as our favorite tour in Chile. I highly recommend the tour to anyone interested in good food and wine in a relaxed environment filled with hospitality.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a wonderful review. We are so glad you had a memorable Traveling Spoon experience and look forward to serving you again on your future travels!

Private Market Tour and Traditional Chilean Cooking Class in a Local Home: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santiago.
How much does Private Market Tour and Traditional Chilean Cooking Class in a Local Home cost?
+
Prices start at $65 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Santiago usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Market Tour and Traditional Chilean Cooking Class in a Local Home 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 Santiago is not rushed.
Is Private Market Tour and Traditional Chilean Cooking Class in a Local Home worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Santiago, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Market Tour and Traditional Chilean Cooking Class in a Local Home?
+
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 Private Market Tour and Traditional Chilean Cooking Class in a Local Home 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 Private Market Tour and Traditional Chilean Cooking Class in a Local Home?
+
Around 2 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 Santiago 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 Santiago and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Market Tour and Traditional Chilean Cooking Class in a Local Home 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 Santiago 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 Santiago?
+
On Outty we rank every Santiago experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Maipo Valley Wine Tour with 4 vineyards from Santiago., Valparaiso Port and Viña del Mar with Casablanca Wine Tasting, Santiago: Valparaiso, Viña del Mar & Casablanca Wine Tour. 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 Santiago?
+
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 Santiago?
+
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.
