Great tour of the Favella with Matte who was very knowledgeable.
Even though its not recommended to tour alone without a guide we felt safe enough. Might have been different otherwise.
What was strange was that we were picked up by Marcelo in a lovely car before being driven to meet another person who was to join us as well as the guide. We then transferred to a taxi which took us to the Favela.
Once the tour had finished we were taken to the tube station and given passes to get back to where we were staying. Trouble was it was a fair walk back to the hotel from the station after a very long and tiring walk round the Favela.
This sort of spoiled the experience as we thought we'd very taken back directly to the hotel.
