The dry season (November to April) offers the most pleasant weather for both the market visit and the cooking class.
Weekdays may be less crowded than weekends. Morning classes are recommended to avoid the heat of the afternoon.
Information regarding accessibility is limited. The market visit may present challenges for those with mobility issues due to uneven surfaces. It is advisable to contact the school directly to inquire about specific accessibility needs.
While children are welcome, the class involves knife skills and working with heat, so parental supervision is essential. The hands-on nature of the class can be engaging for older children with an interest in cooking.
