Este tour es excelente si quieres ver más de cerca el contraste entre la riqueza y la humildad que posee Rio de Janeiro. Desde los miradores de Dona Marta el paisaje no es solo geografico sino tambien muy humano, donde se puede notar porque fue el lugar escogido para hacer la filmación del video "they don't care about us" de Michael Jackson. Una forma diferente de hacer turismo, de la forma más segura.

Mario gave us a one of a kind/authentic experience! As a resident of the Santa Marta Favella, he gave us a walkthrough of what every day life is like, walking us the through the favela transport, utilities, security and residential association system, all the while providing us with a step by step walkthrough of Michael Jackson's iconic music video. Moreover, he provided us with political perspectives and first hand account experiences most guides would not have. You will be amazed at the self sustaining ecosystem that exists in the Santa Marta favelas. Its not all romantisized violence the media generally portrays...These feveĺas have their own pizzarias, sushi shops, bars, stores, and unique/diverse lives that are seldom shown in the media. Give this tour try! You will not regret it!

Excellent tour of St Marta. Mario is a local who knows the place like the back of his hand and did a great job showing us around and sharing all aspects of life in the favela. We also got to enjoy some good rhythms at Michael Jackson square on the way. You do have to be respectful of people's spaces and privacy but I felt safe on the entire tour. Mario is a well known ambassador to the community and looked after us well. In any case everyone was very welcoming. About a quarter of the population of Rio live in favelas, each with their own character and since they are much more accessible these days it is worthwhile seeing that part of Rio as well. Though given the maze this one and others are I 100% wouldn't do it without a guide...
