Favela Visit
The first favela of Rio de Janeiro (favela da Providência) emerged in 1897, and since then their number has reached more than 1000 today. While some favelas are still under the yoke of drug gangs, since 2008 several of them in the south zone have been pacified and are quite safe to visit. Our tour takes you to Rocinha, the biggest favela in South America, with a population of over 200.000 people (official number is around 70.000). You will walk around and experience first hand how people in a (pacified) favela go about their dayly business.
