We had a tight schedule for Santa Marta Favela but Fabio our tour guide managed to accommodate us and sent us to airport. This is a unique experience to see another side of Rio. Apart from that, a part of proceedings from the tour will be used to support the Favela community which made our visit more meaningful.
We were a bit worried about the safety but as long as we followed Fabio and took his advice, safety is not an issue.
Highly recommend this tour.
