3-Hour Private Favela Walking Tour

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.

Discover Rio’s Rocinha Favela on a 3-hour private tour with a local guide. Since 2002, our tours have welcomed over one million guests and earned a #1 rating on TripAdvisor. Our local guides ensure a smooth start by picking you up from your hotel and transporting you to Rocinha.

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.
