Overview

The stunning landscape of Guanabara Bay, viewed from the Flamengo Landfill, is steeped in history. Highlighting key facts and landmarks, this tour offers a unique perspective to better understand the history of the city, Brazil, and even our present day.

We’ll focus primarily on the original Indigenous inhabitants, their crucial role in the region's history, the discovery of the "New World," the French colonization, the Portuguese reclaiming of the territory, and the tragic history of Indigenous and African slavery.

Additionally, we’ll explore monuments and discuss the region’s rich natural environment, including its flora, fauna, and geography.
