Spend five hours learning the artistry behind Yucatan cuisine, relax in a hammock on the golden sands of Punta Morena, and more on this taco tasting beach adventure in Cozumel. Your tour covers a taco and tequila tasting and comes with a bilingual guide who will take you sightseeing around the island and city to explore monuments and visit a local farm, where you'll learn how to make traditional tacos and a Yucatan-style meal from scratch. Your guide will also share the history of the area as you enjoy tasting tacos, some Tequila, and a little time to relax on the quiet beach of Punta Morena. With a scenic city tour, convenient round trip transportation, and beach time, this excursion is ideal for history buffs and beachgoers alike!

 

Start off your gastronomical experience with a brief sightseeing tour of the city, where you'll visit monuments and learn how the Europeans of Cozumel's past first discovered corn when they first arrived. While corn may have seemed like a novel food to the first Eurpoeans to arrive in Cozumel, corn had been in Mexico for over 9,000 years by that time. Enjoy learning about the transformation of an embelactice dish from the Yucatan known as Poc-Chuc taco.

 

See how a local family lives and eats in the countryside with a stop at an agro-tourism farm. You'll uncover the secrets behind the artistic techniques used to deliver an array of delicious Yucatan-style dishes as you handcraft your own taco with a juicy, sour-orange marinated pork, traditional Poc Chuc style meat. Your gastronomical experience also gives you the chance to create a habanero-flavored tomato sauce in with a real large mortar and pestle known as a molcajete to pair that you'll pair with red onions and black beans for your Poc Chuc taco.

 

Next, you'll break for beach time at Punta Morena, where you can soak up the sun on this quiet but relaxing beach. Take a dip in the crystalline waters of the Caribbean Sea or cool off in the nearby salty swimming pool at the local restaurant. You'll even get to play volleyball and enjoy bar service, where you can unwind with Tequila and other beverages before returning to your pier.
