The Hearts and Journeys travel agency was born from the dream of two young people, Henrique and Rosário, who wished to be an example of social entrepreneurship. The main aim is to reduce social inequality in access to tourism, to provide memorable experiences immersing in the local community through volunteering and to share the historical and cultural richness of the country visiting the most typical and emblematic places.

In a world fast-paced by routine and where the most important values are forgotten, the Hearts and Journeys wants to provide authentic moments, emotions and experiences, with a strong sharing human experience, creating remarkable memories to later remember.

Mission: our mission is to provide authentic and emotional travel experiences creating social impact.

Vision: to be a travel agency recognized as a national and international reference in social and solidarity tourism.

Values: innovation, sustainability, sense of community and teamwork.
