Overview

Admire the richness of the African heritage in Brazil. Visit the remains of an important part of Brazilian history.
Starting with hotel pickup, we head to a place called Little Africa. The Little Africa was the entrance point in Rio for several men, women and children coming from the African continent. It is a large zone that used to have a slave open market, stores, houses and graveyards. Walk through the alleys and pay attention to the remarks made by the tour guide. Learn Brazilian history by visiting each historical place. Most people get emotional during the tour. Be respectful and enjoy this rich cultural adventure.
At the end, we take you back to the hotel.
