Overview

Taste 15 exotic fruits, explore a local market with a native guide by your side, and discover stories and fun facts about each of the fruits and the local culture.

This experience turns a simple walk into a journey across Brazil’s regions, from the Amazon to the Atlantic coast, through fruits you’ve likely never seen before and probably won't see outside of Latin America.

Taste, touch, and learn about 15–20 exotic fruits as your guide opens each one for you to try, from pitanga and cashew apple to bold cupuaçu and jabuticaba.

You’ll also discover how they use them in juices, desserts, and cocktails, while picking up fun tips to recognize and choose them like a true carioca.

The experience ends with a stop at a nearby café for gourmet coffee, rum, or chocolate, the perfect finish to your morning of flavors, photos, and laughter.

Small groups only. All tastings included.
Five-Star Guarantee: if it’s not five-star, you don’t pay for four.
