Guidekin's take

A small group cook and taste session in the coastal town of Piñones with a local chef: plantains, sofrito and adobo explained, traditional techniques shown, then a main dish, dessert and a piña colada for you.

You can cook or just watch and eat; getting to Piñones is on you. 4.93 from 54 reviews at €90 per person.

In our comparison: #5 of 11 in Food & Cooking Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
