Overview

Now you can see and taste the island!

This tour has a little bit of Cozumel suited for all ages.

Join a group of folks all bent on seeing the best that Cozumel has to offer. Your tour will begin as you board your bus and head off to Mi Mexico Lindo for a tequila tasting. After a warm welcome, a complete demonstration of the tequila extraction process will provide insight to why this Mexican spirit is so popular. Enjoy a few sips if you desire, or just enjoy watching your fellow tour mates taste and make interesting faces. Tequila tends to do that to everyone.

Our next stop is the Mayan Cacao Company where you will see a chocolate demonstration and tasting.

For the cooking portion you will have your own work station in a state-of-the-art kitchen to be shared with 3 other committed eaters. The object is to learn how to make a 3-course Mexican dinner and each step of the way you will enjoy your demo and then apply the lessons personally. This extremely organized experience will deliver an appetizer of corn tortillas with shrimp in a tomato and chipotle sauce with a topping of the traditional cheese, lettuce and cream. Shrimp can be replaced with chicken breast or potato if you prefer. A lesson in entrees brings you fish covered in sautéed veggies with a tamarind and chili powder sauce, all wrapped in foil and grilled. This is definitely a useful recipe to take home with you for entertaining. And always there is a dessert! Enjoy caramelized plantains with cinnamon and sugar and drizzled with a chocolate and tequila sauce.

Purified bottled water, draft beer, assorted soft drinks, juice, mixed drinks with tequila, mezcal, brandy, rum, vodka such as margaritas, piña colada, rum punch, daiquiris assorted flavors, American coffee and Mexican wine.
