Morro Dois Irmãos is one of our agency's closest natural attractions. It all starts in Vigidal Square, right in the begginning of Vidigal Favela, and goes to the entrance of the trail, made by motorcycle or van. The trail is about 1.5 km long, but when you reach the top, each step taken is greatly rewarded with a panoramic view of the main sights of Rio de Janeiro like Sugar Loaf, Crist the Redemeer, Copacabana Beach and more... Besides a beautiful view, this tour has a great Rappel for beginners, because besides being all the time in contact with the rock, it is short according to other places in Rio.

Afro-Brazilian cuisine is much more than a combination of ingredients and recipes; it is a living heritage that carries centuries of memory, faith, creativity, and resilience. Born from the forced encounter between enslaved African peoples, Indigenous populations, and European colonizers, this gastronomy emerged as a form of cultural preservation and reinvention in the face of adversity. In Afro-Brazilian religions, cooking is also a sacred act. Many recipes have been preserved within Candomblé and Umbanda terreiros, where food is offered to the origás and shared as a symbol of community and connection. Eating, in this context, becomes an act of reconnection with ancestors and a means of transmitting cultural knowledge. We’ll visit some historical sites and afterwards we’ll have the Afro-Brazilian culinary experience led by Black chefs. At each location, tastings will be offered, showcasing the richness of flavors and traditions that have shaped the country’s identity.
