Jeep through Serra da Bocaina to Pedra Branca, Tobogã rock slide, Poço do Tarzan swim, then a cachaça distillery tasting near Paraty.
“The tour was amazing, the waterfalls looked spectacular and it was interesting to learn about the making of cachaça. We were able to swim in a few places, but sliding down the rocks was definitely the highlight of the tour. Definitely recommend it!”
$12 Rio combo at Pura Vida Hostel: learn caipirinha, take a 1 hour samba class, then enjoy 2 drinks and a Gabriela shot.
“I've always wanted to know how to dance samba. The teacher is professional and knows a lot abt it, and besides, it's pretty nice, and she's always smiling. The Caipirinha Workshop was also so cool that I've done it twice! Also, Atlas (the WS intructor) is super helpful and has a great energy! I felt very welcomed at Pura Vida hostel and def wanna go back!”

“Thiago was amazing!!! I am a bit late to post this, but he was very good at explaining the historical information about Paraty which left us curious to find out more. Any questions he was very happy to answer and very kind & generous. Would highly recommend! 🌟”
Make 2 caipirinhas in Rio, then take a 1-hour funk class with a trilingual teacher, and optionally keep partying in Lapa.
“Super fun event, especially as a solo traveler. The caipirinhas I learned to make were sweet, but a bit strong, the people in the hostel were super friendly, and the dance class was hella fun. It's not step by step instructions, but give it a try. You'll probably burn off one of the caipirinhas you made by the time the hour is done.”
