Tour description

Spend an unforgettable night in Foz do Iguaçu with this 100% hands-on culinary experience - a perfect break from the usual waterfall tours. You’ll kick things off by learning how to craft Brazil’s most famous cocktail: the caipirinha. Use fresh tropical fruits to mix and match your own unlimited creations. Then it’s time to dive into the main event: Moqueca. Choose between fish, shrimp, or a delicious vegetarian version, and prepare it from scratch under the guidance of your warm local host. As the moqueca simmers, you’ll enjoy a spread of beloved Brazilian appetizers — like fluffy pão de queijo, crispy cassava sticks, tapioca crepes, and golden cheese pastéis. To end on a sweet note: handmade brigadeiros and good conversation around the table. This is more than a cooking class - it’s a cultural deep dive through Brazil’s flavors. Perfect for couples, friends, or solo travelers looking for a meaningful and delicious connection. We’re committed to giving you only the best. If this experience isn’t 5-star worthy, you get your money back - no questions asked.

After seeing the crowded waterfalls, this evening felt like stepping into another world....

via GetYourGuide ★ 5.0

...Just a small group gathered around the stove, making caipirinhas, stirring moqueca, and talking about everyday life in Foz. Nothing staged - just a real home, real food, real conversation. By the time we finished our brigadeiros at the table, it honestly felt like we’d been visiting old friends, not joining an activity we found online.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this cooking class worth booking instead of just going to a restaurant?

This is much more than a meal. You’ll cook with a local host, learn authentic techniques, hear the stories behind the dishes, and leave with skills, memories, and a much deeper connection to the local culture.

What if my plans change?

We know travel plans can shift. That’s why we offer flexible support, including rescheduling whenever possible. And if your experience doesn’t feel like a 5-star experience, we’ll make it right.

Who leads the class?

Your class is led by a local host with real culinary knowledge and a strong connection to the destination’s food culture. Depending on the experience, your host may be a chef, skilled cook, or local food expert who shares both techniques and stories along the way.

Can you accommodate dietary restrictions?

Yes. We can usually adapt for most dietary needs if you let us know in advance, including vegetarian, pescatarian, and dairy-free requests. The main exception is strict gluten-free or celiac requirements, since we cannot guarantee zero cross-contamination.

Is this a small-group class?

Yes. Our classes are designed for small groups of up to 12 guests, so the atmosphere stays personal, social, and easy to follow.

Is this class right for beginners?

Absolutely. Our classes are designed to be fun and approachable for all skill levels, whether you cook all the time or hardly ever step into a kitchen.

Where does the class start, and is it easy to get there?

After booking, our booking manager will send you clear step-by-step instructions, including the exact meeting point, arrival tips, and the easiest way to get there. In most cases, it’s very easy to reach by Uber.
