Enjoy a day tour of the Rocinha favela (shantytown), the largest favela in South America.

 

In order to correct a bad stereotype about the favelas and show people the true modern Rio de Janeiro, we have developed this tour. Our English speaking tour guide comes from Rocinha, and will show you the realities of its residents.
