CRYSTAL DÍAZ, EL PRETEXTO'S OWNER AND CO-FOUNDER OF PRODUCE (A LOCAL MARKETPLACE CONNECTING FOOD PRODUCERS AND CONSUMERS) AND A CULTURAL ACTION AND FOOD STUDIES GRADUATE, WILL HOST THIS PERSONALIZED EXPERIENCE FOR YOU.
“FOR MORE THAN 18 YEARS, I'VE BEEN TRAVELING AND EATING THROUGHOUT THE WORLD, GIVING ME GREAT PERSPECTIVE ON ALL THAT MY HOME ISLAND HAS TO OFFER. LET ME SHOW YOU PUERTO RICO FROM A FOOD LOVER'S PERSPECTIVE!"
El Pretexto Food Experience lasts seven days to allow you to have an enriching time by slowing down and immersing yourself in our diverse geography, culture, food, and traditions of Puerto Rico. Connections will be made with our landscape, locals, fellow travelers, and, most importantly, with yourself. You'll experience hands-on cooking classes, learn from producers, meet top chefs and traditional home cooks, delight in the best and most authentic restaurants, enjoy great wines, sip the best rums, and visit farms and fishing villages while stopping along rivers, beaches, and must-see locales. I promise you’ll be glad you joined us.
