FAVELA TOUR is indispensable if you look for a deeper perspective on many aspects of Brazil`s complex socioeconomic structure.

You will go to Rocinha, largest favela in Brazil, and Vila Canoas, both nearby São Conrado area and from there you will see impressive views. We walk you through both residential and commercial area and around there you may also purchase nice handcrafts, if you wish. We will also lead you to a local school financed by FAVELA TOUR, and show other local community projects. Favelas are safer than most people believe, but no matter how adventurer you are, go to a favela with an organized tour. We are the pioneer of social tours to favelas since early 1992. If you really want to understand Brazil better, don´t leave Rio missing the FAVELA TOUR. We do not offer tours on sunday PM. Tours need minimum quorun to go.

About operator:
Not all favelas are over-run by drug lords. For an insightful look at life in Rio's favelas, it is highly recommended you book a tour with a reputable favela guide. A good tour will include a visit to a school and an opportunity to positively impact the community.
