    5/31/2026: Learning to cook Caribbean food at El Arsenal is a must-do experience in Cartagena. Our chef instructors, Alejandra and Claudia, not only taught us valuable cooking techniques but also made the entire experience fun and engaging. The highlight was sitting down at the end of the class to enjoy a delicious Caribbean meal that we had prepared ourselves, all while overlooking the bay from a comfortable, air-conditioned dining room. My husband and I highly recommend booking a class. It was a memorable experience and one of the highlights of our time in Cartagena.

    Today we had a cooking workshop from Wendy at El Arsenal The Rum Box. During the cooking workshop we made a local Caribbean meal which is well known in Cartagena cuisine. Wendy has guided us step by step to prepare it before, head and after dish. Which were very tasty! The cooking workshop was experienced as fun and cozy and was provided by the English speaking chef (Wendy) top. It is a must!
