Flavors of Yucatán Cooking Class with Iveth Campos

Flavors of Yucatán Cooking Class with Iveth Campos is a hands-on cooking class in Mérida, the capital of Yucatán state in southeastern Mexico, led by Iveth Campos and booked through the WeTravel platform. How long the host has been teaching is not stated in the available listing. The class combines a guided visit to Mérida's main market in the central area with a cooking session in a family home.

The market visit introduces the ingredients that define Yucatecan cuisine, a regional tradition with Maya roots that uses achiote, sour orange, habanero, fresh herbs and corn in many forms. Back in the family home, participants cook a three-course Yucatecan meal by hand, then sit down to eat what they have prepared. The exact dishes are not listed, but a three-course structure typically means a starter or soup, a main dish and a dessert, so the meal covers both savoury and sweet. Meeting details, including the precise location in Mérida, are sent to participants after booking.

The price is MXN 1,750 per person, approximately USD 100, and covers the guided market visit and the hands-on cooking of the three-course meal. The duration is to be confirmed at booking. Transport between the market and the family home, drinks and gratuities are not itemised, so visitors should confirm these with the host through the WeTravel page.

Group size and language are not specified in the source material. Classes in family homes are normally small, and visitors should ask whether the instruction is in English or Spanish. Dietary substitutions are not described, but because the host plans the menu around a three-course meal, vegetarian, gluten-free and allergy needs are best shared when booking so the dishes can be adapted. Visitors should wear light clothing and closed shoes, arrive moderately hungry and expect a warm kitchen in the hotter months. The class runs year-round, and the market visit is most comfortable in the morning.
