Experience The Best Private Favela Tour in Rocinha local guides
Our 3-Hour Private Favela Walking Tour offers an authentic look at favelas, an essential part of Rio life. Your local guide will meet you at your hotel and bring you to Rocinha Favela in our private car.
Once there, we’ll explore the favela on foot, walking entirely downhill. Please wear comfortable shoes and bring water, as Rocinha is large and has uneven steps. Motor taxis are busy working here, alongside Rocinha’s many small businesses.
This is an excellent tour. You learn a lot about the city and how people have taken it into their own hands to build a life. The guide is very knowledgeable and speaks excellent English. Wear good shoes since the roads and stairs are steep, narrow and sometimes rough. 🇬🇧
