Tourism with impact
Creating educational opportunities through sports, encouraging teamwork, discipline, and personal growth.
We have been operating in Rio for over 10 years and have helped more than 10,000 children in the region.
Help us educate through sport.
Our commitment goes beyond people — we also care for animal welfare, helping local dogs receive food and care they need to live healthier, happier lives.
Every day, dogs are waiting for a second
chance — food, care, and a loving home
At the heart of our mission is education and opportunity. We believe that empowering people with knowledge opens doors to a brighter future — both for individuals and for the community as a whole.
Through our program, we train and mentor new local guides, helping them develop professional skills in tourism, hospitality, and cultural exchange. This not only creates jobs but also strengthens the local economy and promotes pride in Rocinha’s rich culture and history.
