Live cooking experience in Puerto Almanza’s seafood capital

We connect you with local chefs for an unforgettable, hands-on culinary moment

Information about Live cooking

In Puerto Almanza, where the road ends and the Beagle Channel begins, there’s a kitchen waiting just for you. With Viventura, you’ll join local chefs in a live cooking experience where Patagonia’s raw bounty meets warm southern hospitality. Picture fresh king crab pulled from icy waters, firewood crackling, and a view of Chile across the strait.

What we like about Puerto Almanza is the intimacy—you’re not just watching a meal being made; you’re shaping it, seasoning it, and savoring it together with those who live from the land and sea. It’s slow travel at its most flavorful.

Viventura takes care of timing, translation, and transport. You just bring your appetite and curiosity. From the chopping board to the last shared toast, this is a taste of Tierra del Fuego you’ll carry home in memory and in spice.
