Choose your meeting point (9:30 & 13:30)

Your journey begins with pick-up at the iconic Belmond Copacabana Palace, followed by a second stop at Sol Ipanema Hotel. Once we arrive in Rocinha, you’ll embark on a 2-hour walking tour, guided by passionate locals who will introduce you to the history, culture, and stories of the community.

Whether you join us in the morning or afternoon, you’ll enjoy the same culturally rich experience. However, if you prefer cooler temperatures, the
morning tour is an excellent choice. For those looking to enjoy a more leisurely start to the day, the afternoon tour is equally captivating. Both options offer a window into the heart of Rio’s most iconic favela.
