Favela Tour Tours are of Rocinha Favela (the largest Favela – or “Shantytown” in South America) by our Brazilian tour guide, Bruno, who worked there as a volunteer for one year. The tour is non-intrusive and respectful of the lives of the people living in the favela. It is not like the “zoo-tour” in vans or jeeps done by other tour companies. Transport is by public transport (van and moto-taxi) to and from the favela. The guide informs you of the history, social and economic running of the favela; and as the tour groups are small you will be able to meet some of the people who live there. You can also experiemce and take photos of the breath-taking views that the favela has of Ipanema, Sugar-Loaf and Christ. The tour usually takes about 4 hours. The price is R$50. This covers your transportation and a monetary contributition to the community. Is it safe? - You can bring cameras and money to the favela. It is better that you dress casually. Languages Spoken By Bruno: English, Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, German, Hebrew or French.
