What is HVR?
A transformative journey to reconnect Afro-descendant communities with their ancestral heritage, culture, and identity through a symbolic reverse voyage.
Our Mission
The Heritage Voyage of Return is an ocean voyage from Brazil/The Americas/The Caribbean to the African continent, retracing the reverse route of the transatlantic slave trade to facilitate healing, reconnection, and cultural restoration.
Our Vision
HVR embodies the Triple-L formulation: Leisure, Learning and Linkage. We create spaces for cultural exchange, historical education, and meaningful connections between diaspora communities and their ancestral roots.
