Discover a unique and transformative experience in Favela Santa Marta, one of Rio de Janeiro's most iconic communities.
This is not a traditional tour. It's a full immersion in local culture, where you actively participate in everyday life in the favela alongside residents.
The experience begins with an introduction to the community's history and a climb up the steep slope, which reveals incredible views of the city. Along the way, you'll discover iconic sites, such as the Michael Jackson space, and gain an understanding of the favela's cultural importance.
Then, the experience takes a new turn.
You will visit a local market to select fresh ingredients and, together with a local resident, learn how to prepare typical Brazilian dishes and the traditional caipirinha.
More than a cooking class, this is a moment of exchange: real stories, experiences, and human connections.
The tour also includes participation in a community social project, where you can learn about sustainable initiatives and, depending on the day, take part in activities such as planting or composting.
The experience concludes with a shared meal, celebrating culture, exchange, and the coming together of different realities.
