Additional Information

We invite you to explore the favela and participate in our tour, which is not simply a visit in a jeep or a generic experience offered by travel agencies with no vested interest in our development. Join us to stroll around our neighborhoods, lanes and passages to truly appreciate our historic FAVELA TOUR EXPERIENCE WITH PURPOSE - a journey that extends far beyond a basic trip or stroll around the area.

Our tour promotes a rich interaction and exchange between the visitor and the local occupant — our goal is to guide our guests on an immersive journey into the heart of the favela, delving into the daily lives of its inhabitants, understanding the sundry challenges they face and the achievements they’ve made over the past 100 years since the establishment of the first Favela. This tour furthermore provides an extensive insight into the everyday life of a favela resident in Rio, where over a quarter of the population resides in Favelas.

Beyond assimilating our daily reality, your participation contributes wholly to the proliferation of educational, linguistic, athletic, or cultural schemes within the Favela.
