Experience Details

Taste 15 exotic fruits, explore a local market with a native guide by your side, and discover stories and fun facts about each of the fruits and the local culture.

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 and probably won't see outside of Latin America.

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.

You’ll also discover how they 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.

Sample Menu

STARTER

Atlantic forest fruits Start with the bright, juicy taste of passion, fruit,

the tangy burst of pitanga, and the soft sweetness of the golden banana—a staple of Brazil’s coastal forests.

STARTER

Central Brazil Fruits: Experience the custard-like texture of sugar apple,

the aromatic depth of guava, and the tropical richness of Palmer mango, each fruit offering a taste of Brazil’s heartland.

STARTER

Amazonian Fruits: Venture into the Amazon with bold flavours like the smooth,

earthy cupuaçu, the tangy açaí berry, and the intense, tropical taste of graviola, a true flavour of the rainforest.

STARTER

Brazilian Backlands Specialties: End the journey with rare backland fruits,

like the refreshing juice of cashew apple, the vibrant, slightly tart umbu, and the rich, caramel notes of sapoti.

Fruit market tour

I loved it because I was looking for the fruit market myself and I was confused. I got to taste the fruits as well. Best experience ever for a raw vegan person.
