An unparalleled experience crafted by a world-class chef. The Fuegos journey redefines excellence, delivering a culinary adventure that is truly top-shelf in every sense.

Karen M.

An incredible experience in the forests of El Yunque, Puerto Rico. The chef’s open-fire cooking, from exquisitely prepared tofu to rice steamed in bamboo, delivered superb flavors and textures. This is a must-try adventure.

Maria S.

An unforgettable Fuegos experience surrounded by stunning natural beauty. The open-fire cooking on this beautiful island was truly exceptional.

Tay & Felisha S.

The one-of-a-kind Fuegos Beach experience began with a refreshing mango-guava popsicle amuse-bouche, followed by appetizers of smoked cheese paired with tostones and malanga fritters. The highlight was the chef’s arroz con gandules, beautifully cooked inside bamboo over an open fire. Truly exceptional—10/10!

Diego R.

My experience with Fuegos was truly unforgettable. It transported me back to my childhood in Puerto Rico, where open-fire cooking was a cherished tradition. Fuegos beautifully weaves the rich textures and flavors of the Caribbean—highlighting influences from Puerto Rico, Jamaica, and Cuba—while honoring old-world techniques like cooking in bamboo and over fire. This extraordinary blend of heritage and innovation created the most spectacular culinary experiences I’ve ever had.

About Hudson Valley

The Hudson Valley, located just north of New York City, is a region celebrated for its natural beauty, historic charm, and vibrant cultural scene. Stretching along the Hudson River from Westchester County to Albany, the valley is home to rolling hills, lush forests, and scenic river views that have inspired artists for generations. It is often associated with the Hudson River School of painting, a 19th-century American art movement that emphasized romantic landscapes and the sublime beauty of nature.

In addition to its picturesque environment, the Hudson Valley boasts a rich historical legacy, with landmarks dating back to the Revolutionary War, charming colonial towns, and stately mansions. Today, the region is a popular destination for food lovers, offering farm-to-table dining, award-winning wineries, and craft breweries. Whether you’re exploring quaint villages like Rhinebeck and Cold Spring, hiking the Catskills, or visiting cultural institutions such as Dia Beacon, the Hudson Valley offers a unique blend of history, nature, and contemporary sophistication.
