Favela Tour in Rocinha - Local Social Experience
The Favela Tour is the ideal way to experience Rio de Janeiro from a unique viewpoint. Rio has a social reality that is still unknown to most people who do not reside in the city, with almost 1,000 favelas housing about 20% of the population.
After being picked up from your hotel, listen to comments on the social and historical context of Rio de Janeiro’s favelas. After arriving in Rocinha, the biggest favela in Brazil, find out more about the innovative architecture, governmental operations, and regional culture. Feel welcomed by the locals who support your visit, which changes the perception that a favela is associated with poverty and violence, and learn more about the infrastructure and security policies affecting the favela’s daily life.
Get off the van inside the neighborhood and stroll through the lanes and winding streets before stopping at a nearby art studio with a terrace and breathtaking views. Visit a bakery as well to support the neighborhood economy.
Visit the local NGO União de Mulheres Pró-Melhoramentos da Roupa Suja. This daycare center receives support from the tour through regular donations of baby food and other leisure and cultural activities for kids.
Finish the tour on the footbridge designed by Oscar Niemeyer, the most well-known Brazilian architect in the world, created in the lower section of the favela. Enjoy a breathtaking view of the entire neighborhood and its magnificence and beauty.
