Favela Tour
Favela Tour reveals the way of life of around 20% of Rio population. It changes the general idea that favelas are simply no-go areas dominated by criminals only, and opens a new perspective over Rio society. It is a tour to understand the city, its contrasts and paradoxes.
The tour takes the visitor to the community of Vila Canoas, with around 2.500 people, and Rocinha, the largest favela in Brazil, having around 60.000 dwellers.
In Vila Canoas, we make a walking trip through its narrow alleyways and get a good idea of its local initiatives that are also part of many Rio favelas. Once in Rocinha, the contrasts are more evident as much as we go higher and deeper inside. Its huge dimensions, wide variety of commerce and breathtaking view from the top is certainly impressive for any visitor.
