What To Expect

Embark on a transformative journey through the hidden narratives of Little Africa in Rio de Janeiro's bustling Port with Florencio's immersive walking tour. Delve into the profound legacy of over four million Africans enslaved in Brazil over three centuries, where Rio emerged as the epicenter of the global African slave trade in the 19th century, welcoming one in every five enslaved individuals of the modern era.

Today, the echoes of this rich heritage resound throughout Brazil, with over half of its population proudly identifying as black. From the pulsating rhythms of samba to the kaleidoscope of colors at the carnival, from the tantalizing flavors of Afro-Brazilian cuisine to the spiritual beats of African-influenced music, the vibrant tapestry of African culture is woven into the very fabric of Brazilian life.

Join Florencio on an unforgettable journey through time and culture, where the past comes alive, and the legacy of Little Africa continues to inspire and enchant.
