Rio’s Little Africa: Food Walk & History in Local Restaurants

Discover Brazil through its flavors, history, and rhythm on this immersive food tour in Rio de Janeiro.

We want your trip to go beyond the usual labels. We want the guides not just to point out places, but to connect cultures. With Free Walker, you’ll explore the authentic Little Africa neighbourhood, where culture and cuisine blend far beyond the artificial tourist spots.

The experience goes to Pedra do Sal, the birthplace of samba, where music fills the streets and the flavors of Rio come alive.

Our goal is to present you tastes from different regions of Brazil while learning the stories and cultural influences behind each bite.
