Begin your journey at the Afro Brazil Museum, located in the lush green surroundings of Ibirapuera Park. Walk through over 6,000 pieces of art, documents, and historical artifacts celebrating the influence of the African diaspora in Brazil — from colonial times to the modern day.

Your guide will highlight key exhibitions covering religion, slavery, resistance, music, and art, giving context to how Afro-Brazilian culture has shaped the country's social and cultural fabric. Learn about iconic figures, traditional religions like Candomblé, and artistic movements that emerged from resistance and creativity.

After enriching your mind, satisfy your appetite with a curated lunch at Altar Restaurante, located in the bohemian neighborhood of Vila Madalena. This restaurant is a contemporary tribute to Afro-Brazilian flavors, using traditional ingredients with a modern culinary twist.

Savor dishes inspired by Bahia and the Northeastern region, often featuring flavors like dendê oil, coconut milk, okra, and cassava. You’ll also learn about the African roots of Brazilian cuisine, how enslaved peoples adapted their traditional recipes, and how these dishes became staples of Brazilian identity today.

Continue through the vibrant streets of Vila Madalena, São Paulo’s artistic heart. The highlight: Beco do Batman, a world-renowned open-air graffiti gallery that explodes with color, symbolism, and creativity.

With your guide, explore the alleyways filled with ever-changing murals by local and international artists. This is not just street art — it’s a social and political commentary on race, culture, and identity in Brazil. Your guide will decode the messages, explain the techniques, and even introduce you to some lesser-known gems beyond the main alleyways.

Along the way, learn about how São Paulo became one of the world’s graffiti capitals and how Afro-Brazilian artists are using public spaces to express identity and resistance.
