We will walk through the most important places in the history of black resistance in Rio de JaneIro, an immersion into Afro-Brazilian culture, gastronomy and customs. You will learn stories of important personalities who fought with all their might for freedom and the end of slavery in the country. And we will finish this tour inside an important Samba school in the city, where you will see and play the most internationally known expression of the Afro culture in Rio, the carnival, the allegoric cars, the feathers and the history of resistance that exists from behind the party and of course we can not forget, have a great caipirinha drink.
