On the Little Africa Tour—African Heritage, we spotlight venues significant to Black history in Rio de Janeiro. This journey locates itself on one of the main routes of the global African Diaspora, serving as part of Unesco’s Slavery Route Project. Much like a tour focusing on the Holocaust, this experience remembers the narrative of Africans and their progeny. This expedition is crucial for promoting black consciousness and combating racism globally while showcasing the value of black culture and history.

The storytelling aspect is both educational and decolonizing in nature. The itinerary features the Valongo Wharf Archaeological Site, a significant hub of the Slave Trade in antiquity, which was awarded a place on the World Heritage List in 2017. The Site encompasses the globally most noteworthy ruins of a docking point for enslaved Africans in the Americas. It’s estimated that South America received approximately 900,000 Africans via Valongo.

This remembrance tour recounts historical narratives, tales of pain and struggles, and despite all odds, the resilience of African Brazilian people. These individuals remade themselves in the diasporic world, influencing civilization’s values, while also cultivating Brazil’s unique national identity. The tour is designed for small groups.
