Feel what life in a Favela is like. We take you to the top of the Rocinha Favela or Tavares Bastos and then descend on foot. On the way down, you get a unique insight into the vibrant spirit of the people, especially the kids. Discover what life is like inside the Favela. We take you to the highest part and then we walk down the small streets, where you can see everything very close.

This was a very enriching and moving tour as we learned that Brazil has 12,000 Favelas. Rocinha, which is what we toured, is the largest. It is an amazing experience that should be seen by everyone because it brings stark awareness of the difference in equality and also the tenacity and industriousness of a people to live and make life work. There is beauty in the art within the Favela and the scenery within Rio is spectacular. We learned of moving stories of families and children being positively motivated to become whatever they wanted to be. Patrick, our tour guide, has been very involved in being a mentor to young children to choose a positive path in life instead of being influenced by gangs, drugs etc. We would highly recommend this tour.

Generally ok but nothing more! In my opinion there were a couple of serious shortcomings. Rio traffic is horrible and whilst it’s commendable to collect everyone from their hotels, we wasted more than an hour. Far better to get people to come to a central point (metro station). Also, I was expecting much more insight from the guide, Sergio. It was very basic and I didn’t really learn anything which I didn’t already know. It would have been far better to have had a good intro into life in a favela during the huge amount of time we were in the bus rather than just apologising for the endless stops we needed to make to collect people.
