Authentic Nicaraguan Cooking Workshop

Immerse yourself in Nicaraguan culture with this 3.5-hour cooking workshop at Agualí Biological Station, set amidst the stunning hills near Matagalpa. Reach the station with an uphill hike that takes about 30 minutes, then join expert local cooks with bilingual support, to prepare traditional dishes like gallo pinto (rice and beans), indio viejo (beefstew), or other seasonal recipes using fresh fruits and vegetables available at the time.

For group bookings, you may also try your hand at making nacatamales, a cherished Nicaraguan dish requiring more elaborate preparation. After cooking, enjoy your creations alongside refreshing drinks like pinolillo or fresh tropical juices.

This isn’t just a class, it’s a chance to connect with local traditions, savor authentic flavors, and experience Nicaraguan hospitality first hand. Join us at Agualí Biological Station for an unforgettable culinary journey celebrating Nicaragua’s rich heritage. Transportation can be added for an additional fee.
