What To Expect
Discover the flavors and rhythms of Brazil in this unforgettable cooking, cocktail, and dance experience in Rio de Janeiro! You'll start by learning to make not one, but three different flavors of Brazil’s most iconic cocktail—the caipirinha. Using fresh fruits, lime, sugar, and cachaça, you'll shake and sip your way through the perfect tropical combinations. Next, step into the kitchen to prepare a traditional moqueca, a delicious Brazilian fish stew made with coconut milk, peppers, herbs, and dendê oil. We guide you step-by-step as you create this rich, colorful dish from scratch. While the moqueca simmers, the energy shifts and the samba begins! Don’t worry if you’ve never danced before—we’ll teach you the basic moves in a relaxed and joyful atmosphere. It’s all about feeling the rhythm and having fun. After dancing, you’ll sit down to enjoy your moqueca with your caipirinha in hand—surrounded by great people, good music, and an unforgettable cultural experience. Perfect for food lovers, culture seekers, solo travelers, couples, and groups.

5.00Absolutely unforgettable! 🙌 Renata's cooking class was one of the best experiences I’ve had in Rio. From the moment we arrived, she made us feel like family. We learned how to make a delicious moqueca (seriously, restaurant-level!), sipped on endless caipirinhas 🍹, and ended the day dancing samba like true cariocas! 💃 Renata is not just a great cook, she’s the soul of the experience — warm, funny, and full of amazing stories about Brazilian culture. The location is stunning, and the atmosphere is full of joy and flavor. If you’re visiting Rio, don’t miss this. It’s more than a cooking class — it’s a celebration of Brazil! 🇧🇷
Best experience in Rio!

5.00This Brazilian cooking class was one of the best experiences I had in Rio! We were warmly welcomed into a beautiful, authentic setting where we learned to prepare a delicious homemade Brazilian lunch from scratch. The ingredients were fresh, the instructions easy to follow, and the food turned out amazing! But what really made the experience stand out were the three different caipirinhas, each with a unique and tropical twist. Learning how to mix them was just as fun as drinking them! To top it all off, after lunch we enjoyed a lively and interactive samba session. Even if you've never danced before, the energy is infectious and you'll find yourself smiling and moving to the rhythm in no time. This experience offers the perfect mix of culture, flavor, music, and great company. It’s a must for anyone looking to connect with the true spirit of Brazil in a fun and memorable way!
