I learned a lot on this tour and there were unexpected elements of fun, like the rooftop capoeira performance by local children and the pick up game of futbol. I felt safe with our guide, who lives in the favela. Highly recommend.

I love our guide, Martin's sense of humor. It was really a privilege to be able to walk through a favela since we are strongly discouraged to go there by ourselves. I felt very safe and did not feel uncomfortable at all. It was a great opportunity to see, hear and learn about the history and how the favela functions. The paths that we took were one of a kind, and the views from the lookout point was breathtaking. Would highly recommend it!
