We're proud to announce the partnership between Stichting Estrela da Favela and Vamos Boca! Together we offer travellers a unique and meaningful experience in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro.
The Brazilian-Dutch foundation Estrela da Favela is an education and sports project in the Mangueira favela in Rio de Janeiro for children aged 4 to 14 (EstreladaFavela.com).
Through this partnership, we're able to offer the following, among other things:
🏡 Favela Tour – Discover the resilience and culture of the community, guided by locals who share their stories. ⚽ Football experience in the favela – Play a game of football with the children of Estrela da Favela and experience the passion for the sport in a place where football is more than a game: it's hope and connection. 🐒 Mototaxi ride through the Vidigal favela with a climb up Dois Irmãos hill, with fantastic views.
You'll also get an insight into the projects Estrela da Favela runs for the children.
Through this partnership, we support education and sports projects that give children a better future. Travel with impact — that's what Vamos Boca and Estrela da Favela stand for together!
The activities above are woven into a number of itineraries to Rio de Janeiro, such as the 8-day football trip to Rio de Janeiro. You can view it here.
