About

The Favela Tour takes you into the heart of Rocinha, Rio’s largest favela, where the city’s energy is lived and felt in its purest form.

Walk through winding alleys filled with striking street art, taste local street food made with care, and take in some of the most breathtaking views of Rio from the hilltops.

But more than the scenery, it’s the people who make this place unforgettable — a resilient, creative, and welcoming community that thrives with culture, entrepreneurship, and a strong sense of identity.

This is a side of Rio de Janeiro that many miss, but one that tells a powerful and authentic story!
