What makes this activity truly unique is the energy, warmth, and rhythm of Brazil, shared in an authentic, interactive way. You’re not just observing—you’re fully immersed: tasting, dancing, laughing, and connecting with fellow travelers and locals alike.

From the tropical aromas of the kitchen to the beats of samba and the cheers over your handmade cocktails, this is a multisensory journey into the heart of Brazilian culture—served with joy and a personal touch you won’t find anywhere else.

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.
