This scenario unites iconic landscapes and deep memories: we start with Christ the Redeemer, where the presence of Our Lady Aparecida - a symbol of black faith in Brazil - welcomes visitors. We will visit Santa Teresa, an artistic and bohemian neighborhood that keeps ateliers, stories and unique views, such as the Selarón Staircase, the scene of Snoop Dogg’s “Beautiful” clip and Pharrell, a vibrant landmark of world black music.
The tour includes an African lunch with a fixed menu, bringing to the table spices, history and affection of African-Brazilian cuisine full of ancestry.
The experience deepens into Little Africa, an essential territory to understand the formation of Afro-Brazilian culture, the resistance and strength of the diaspora in the country, where from black identities and narratives we offer a sensory and transformative immersion for those seeking a true connection with local culture, history and belonging through Afrotourism.
