Step into Rio’s most colorful fruit market and uncover Brazil’s tropical biodiversity through flavor.
Led by a passionate local guide, 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.
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.
Between tastings, you’ll hear stories about how these fruits shaped Brazilian culture, cuisine, and folklore.
You’ll also discover how locals 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.
