We really the cooking class. Our guide, driver and chef were all excellent. It was unfortunate that the tour didn’t start earlier so that we could have seen the vendors at the outdoor market. On our way to the farm, our guide stopped so that we could take photos of the beautiful macaws sitting on their nest which was on top of a dead palm tree. It would have been nice to receive a copy of the recipe.
