Rio's Cookin' Good: 9-Dish & Caipis Fiesta + Optional Market Tour

Details: Strap on your aprons and flip those instructor hats to sassy mode because you're about to dive fork-first into the most epic culinary bash in Rio. This isn't your grandma's cooking class—unless she knows how to wield a caipirinha while juggling cassava. In our small-group adventure, you'll go from market mavens to kitchen wizards faster than you can say "Picanha." Get ready to chop, sizzle, and sip your way through Brazil's zestiest flavors, all while laughing harder than you thought possible with a spatula in hand. You can book with confidence! We have the cooking experience down to a science (food+drinks+fun+culture) If you don't drink alcohol, let us know after you book, as we can teach how to make tropical fruit juices and mocktails. This experience is offered in English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese.
