Explore the rich history of Brazil, deeply intertwined with the cultural heritage of the Bantus from Angola and Yorubas from Nigeria, who played a foundational role in shaping the nation. Our tour begins in Little Africa, located at Cais do Valongo in the Gamboa neighborhood, a historic site where around one million enslaved individuals arrived during the 1800s. This area, full of squares and museums, serves as a poignant reminder of those dark times.

As we delve into Brazil's past, we'll also visit significant sites like Pedra do Sal in Gamboa, celebrated as the birthplace of samba. Join us to honor and understand the profound impact of these communities on Brazilian culture and history.
