Instituto Morro da Mangueira celebrated last weekend a new phase of its operations in the territory, presided over by Evelyn Bastos. The gathering brought together residents, community leaders, partners, and guests on a route that started at the top of the hill and ended at the institution's headquarters in Buraco Quente, in Rio's North Zone.
The program presented the design of a historical circuit that will identify, through tile landmarks with QR codes, places linked to the lives of masters who helped build Mangueira's history. The initiative will be integrated into MangaTur, a community tourism project that aims to provide visitors with an experience guided by the memory, heritage, and perspective of the residents themselves.
The route also featured a gastronomic experience, including mango shake, the fruit whose tree gives the hill its name. Other recipes using the ingredient will be part of the circuit's tourist offerings.
