Favela Tour Rio de Janeiro
Rio de Janeiro (Brazil)
Location
The favela da Rocinha used to be largest slum in South America until 1992, when it became a district of Rio de Janeiro. It has conquered its own administrative zone, with an office and an administrator. Nowadays, this district has a population of approximately 120,000 inhabitants. Although it preserves the unorganised look of a ghetto, it has everything any other district of Rio has. During the tour, tourists will find out that the place has its own clinics, supermarkets, public schools, banks and even a tv station.
Tour Program:
WE start the tour collecting travelers from their hotels in Rio ( under the covered areas), heading towards the favela. Once there, we start a walking tour visiting the narrow streets and its markets. We visit a local home and also a terrace with an amazing view of the whole place. Along the way the guide will talk about the history of the favela, its social challenges, its culture and much more. It is an unforgetable tour, do not miss it!
