Description
Good to Know
Because it goes far beyond a simple tour — it’s a true immersion into the soul of Cape Verde.
This experience connects you directly with local life: you walk through the markets, select fresh ingredients, chat with locals, and learn to prepare the country’s most traditional dish with a local chef who’s passionate about Cape Verdean culture.
Plus, the relaxing moment at Estoril Beach — with crystal-clear waters and snorkeling — makes the experience complete, where flavor, history, and well-being come together.
It’s authentic, warm, and unforgettable. A true celebration of Cape Verdean culture.

The Katxupa Workshop – Countryside Edition is an authentic experience in the rural heart of Boa Vista Island, where tradition, simplicity, and Cape Verdean hospitality come together. Guests are welcomed by a local family and learn step by step how to prepare katxupa, the country’s most iconic dish, cooked in a traditional way, often over a wood fire. While the meal slowly cooks, there is time to share stories, enjoy local music, taste grogue or ponche, and relax. The experience ends with a shared lunch, creating a genuine moment of cultural connection you don’t just visit — you live.
