015 – Katxupa Workshop Boa Vista | Authentic Cape Verdean Cooking Class

About this tour

Katxupa Cooking Class — Countryside Edition, Boa Vista

Experience authentic Cape Verdean culture through cachupa (katxupa), the country’s most iconic dish, in a peaceful countryside setting. This guided cooking class takes you step by step through the ingredients, preparation techniques and cultural significance behind this beloved traditional stew — all ingredients and cooking equipment included.

The experience takes place in a rural environment away from the tourist areas, offering a relaxed and authentic atmosphere. After the cooking class, sit down together for a traditional cachupa lunch, accompanied by live local music, followed by a taste of Fogo coffee and grogue or Santo Antão punch. Hotel pick-up and drop-off are included, so the only things to bring are your appetite and curiosity — additional drinks are not included.

This is more than a cooking class — it’s a cultural and social experience that connects you to the true flavors and traditions of Boa Vista, guided by local hosts who cook cachupa the way it’s been made for generations.
