I was taken around the Favela and shown how people live there! We were introduced to some locals and heard them play music. The views of Christ the redeemer and sugar loaf mountain are breathtaking from the favela. I was also shown where Michael Jackson filmed his MV there and shown his statue! I loved every minute of this experience and Luis is an incredible tour guide. I wish him all the luck in his studies. I’d highly recommend him!
