São Lourenço dos Órgãos Cooking Class & Dance & Walk São Lourenço dos Órgãos Cooking Class & Dance & Walk

Join a cooking class and dance workshop in São Lourenço dos Órgãos with hotel transfers from Praia. Learn to make traditional dishes, enjoy a Batuque dance perform, and savor the food you prepared.
Leave the city behind and travel to the heart of Santiago Island on a tour that combines living history, nature, and the authentic flavors of Cape Verde. This is not just an excursion; it’s an exclusive invitation to enter the home of the oldest family in São Lourenço dos Órgãos, whose ancestors were among the first to inhabit this lush mountain region.

Begin your adventure with a comfortable transfer directly from your hotel in Praia. Upon arrival in São Lourenço dos Órgãos, the scenery transforms. Enjoy a short, easy walk through local plantations, where your multilingual guide will share the secrets of Cape Verdean agriculture, showing you where the fresh ingredients that bring local cuisine to life come from.

The highlight of the day takes place inside a house with centuries of stories to tell. Here, the doors open for an interactive culinary workshop. Under the warm guidance of your hosts, learn to prepare the country’s most iconic dishes:

• The iconic Cachupa, the national dish cooked over a slow fire
• Traditional Cape Verdean Cuzcuz, prepared in the characteristic clay “binde”
• Delicious and crispy Filhoses

As the aromas fill the kitchen, the rhythm takes over the atmosphere. Get ready for a vibrant cultural demonstration of Batuque, a traditional music and dance genre, performed traditionally by women. If you feel the rhythm, you are more than welcome to join the circle.

Finally, sit down at the table with the family to share the feast you helped prepare, in a true moment of sharing and “morabeza” (the famous Cape Verdean hospitality). After this unforgettable day of human and cultural connection, your private transport will take you back to your hotel in Praia.
