Trilhas do Kwatá: Ecoturismo em Área Indígena de Roraima (Fase II)
An ecotourism operation will be implemented in the Nova Esperança Indigenous Village, having a set of trails as its main attraction. The trails, to be hiked, will have their biodiversity interpreted and explained by indigenous guides with special training. Products, handcrafts, and room and board services will be offered to add value to the tourist attraction. The region around the village is mountainous and covered in woods, inserted in the transition between the low savannah in Brazil and the high savannah in Venezuela. The activities planned include the construction of the set of trails, visitor?s center, handcrafts center, and tourist housing facilities. The training and marketing programs will also be implemented.
