African Heritage Circuit
Archeological studies and excavations conducted in recent decades - particularly after work began on Porto Maravilha - have shown how the history and culture of Rio de Janeiro´s Port Region can shed light on the African Diaspora and the shaping of Brazilian society. These archeological finds were the inspiration for create Archeological Circuit Celebrating African Heritage, a collective effort to draft guidelines to be used in implementing policies that will recognize and protect this memory and cultural heritage.
Afro Brazilian Culture
It is estimated that nearly four million of Africans
enslaved were shipped to Brazil from Africa. Consequently, African heritage is pervasive in Brazilian culture. So, we provide tours that show this combination in Quilombo communities, meetings of Samba Music, Capoeira Martial Art, Jongo and Afro Brazilian Dance.
