Discover Vidigal’s vibrant contrasts with Caminhos Bikes & Tours: an Educational Experience that is Transformative.
Welcome to the multi-colored world of Vidigal
Vidigal is a favela full of life, culture, and solidarity. Caminhos Bikes & Tours would like you to participate in this special community through a guided tour of its winding streets and breathtaking viewpoints.
Finding hidden gems & social projects
As we wind our way through the narrow alleys of this incredible place, keep an eye out for little-known spots where the beauty lies waiting at every turn – from colorful murals painted by local artists to cozy corner cafes serving up delicious homemade treats And don’t forget about those non-profit organizations working hard within communities themselves too; because without them none of it would even be possible This part provides insights into life within favelas themselves while also showing visitors another side apart from poverty or crime which most people only ever hear about !!!
Cultural immersion
What better way to taste a place than through its food? Therefore no trip should miss experiencing what has been cooked there over centuries – and our Rio bike tours are no exception! We’ll have lunch in one of the restaurants where they serve traditional Brazilian cuisine so that you can eat like them and meet some locals who will be more than happy sharing their most cherished recipes as well !!!
The deeper you travel, the more you get to experience and understand these peoples’ lives, dreams, and triumphs. The majority of our guides are Favela locals, so they share their stories too along with some insights which makes it heartfelt & genuine when talking about what life is like for someone living in a Favela.
Change that can last for long
By choosing Caminhos Bikes & Tours, you are not only visiting Rio de Janeiro but also bringing change to those around you. They take a share of their profits towards community-based projects aimed at uplifting the lives of residents within this area thereby creating sustainable changes in Vidigal.
Discoveries made through empowerment
You will leave having completed your trip through Vidigal feeling like never before about such an alive place filled with people who have so much resilience. There is something different offered by Caminhos Bikes & Tours from ordinary sightseeing; it connects them all while also giving one chance to learn how they can make some positive changes themselves while being in Rio de Janeiro
