Brazil and its culture has been apart of Tola Swim’s identity even before it was created. The creator of Tola Swim is of Afro-Caribbean origins and was raised by parents who indulged themselves into afro cultures across the globe. Enter, Brazil. From a young age, Tola Swim’s creator was introduced to the interesting and cultivating culture of Brazil through imagery and music. She quickly realized the culture she was raised in closely resembled the culture of Brazil. Thus began years-long infatuation with a place she has never visited. Here we are 20 years later, choosing Brazil as the home of production for Tola Swim and sequentially, the location of a heart changing trip. Here’s how to spend the perfect day in Brazil.

Take a moto taxi to the neighborhood of Ipanema to grab an iced latte to cool you down and satisfy your caffeine cravings.
