Favela Tour is your option to construct a realistic picture of Rio, its contrasts and paradoxes and the complexity of Brazilian society. Learn the goods and bads, the pros and cons of living in Rio.
Favela Tour is an immersive and interactive experience for the traveller looking for a new perspective of Brazilian socioeconomic structure. The tour integrates visitors and locals revealing a whole new vision of favelas, changing their reputation of exclusion and danger. The tour is not only to explain about favelas but to offer a whole new understanding of different aspects of Brazilian society. There are close to 1000 favelas in Rio. Mostly placed on former public areas on the hillsides, they are now home to 20% of Rio's population, however they remain a mystery for most people who don't live there. You will go to Rocinha, the largest favela in Brazil, and Vila Canoas. Picturesque from a distance, once closer they reveal their complex architecture, vibrant commerce and friendly people. Walk through the alleyways visiting both residential and commercial area, a handcraft center, the community school (financed by Favela Tour), and other local projects. Favelas are safer than most people believe, however, no matter how adventurer you are, go to a favela with an organized tour. Don't be shy, you are welcome there, local people enjoy and support your visit. If you really want to understand Brazil, don't leave Rio without having done the Favela Tour.
