More than a Carnival trip.
A homecoming of stories.

Sankofa means "go back and fetch it." In Rio, the Tabom people carry a living link between Ghana and Brazil. This trip puts that history at the centre of Carnival with Grande Rio.

You'll sightsee, celebrate, learn, and meet entrepreneurs and professionals on both sides of the Atlantic.
