1. Escola Cajueiro | Amazon – Escola Cajueiro is an experimental school in Alter do Chao village in the Amazon. Many of our travelers who visit the Amazon are touched by the intelligence and importance of such a modern educational project in such a small community. Visitors to our Tapajós Private cruises can see the school. See their website
2. Morrinho Project | Rio de Janeiro – Morrinho is a 400m2 maquette of the favela inside one of the most interesting favelas in Rio de Janeiro. Rather than a voyeuristic favela tour, we take our guests to see this maquette, one of the sensations of the 2007 Venice Art Bienalle. See their website
3. Projeto Bagagem – Projeto Bagagem is a Brazilian NGO aimed at improving the livelihoods of low-income Brazilian communities by developing local development alternatives based on community-based tourism. We can arrange for our guests to have a special experience in one of the communities supported by Projeto Bagagem. See their website
More and more travelers want to get under the skin of the country they visit and meet real people outside the mass tourist circuit.
We offer our travelers the possibility of getting to know some very interesting social experiments going on in the country – for the traveler an opportunity to see something not ordinarily shown to tourists and for those they meet an encounter with people who can broaden their horizons and visions of the world.
