You have probably heard, ''Don't go to a favela, it's dangerous".
This phrase is based on prejudice.
Would you like to experience a favela, real and raw?
Come with me on a free walking tour of Rocinha, the largest favela in Latin America, and learn what life is like here.
You will walk through the neighborhood while your guide tells the story of the community and how it has developed, from the beginning to today. Following the same paths, the locals walk every day, you will experience the scenes and culture of this vibrant, friendly neighborhood. You will visit a supermarket and other local businesses, and see social projects that benefit the community. You will also see incredible views from the high hilltop and take pictures.
You will need to bring money, for donations to community charities, viewpoints, souvenirs, and Moto-taxi.

We had an excellent tour with Caio! It is definitely the most insightful walking tour I've ever done! Without ruining the surprise of the tour, we got a great understanding of the history of the Rocinha Favela, including how it is run today. We got delicious local snacks and drinks along the way. We were taken to some amazing view points where Caio put a lot of effort into getting us great photos. Caio was very informative, showing us things that we have never seen before, as we went along the alleys and paths of the Favela. I 100% recommend to a friend 😁

Very interesting and comprehensive tour of the Favella. Caio has a very good knowledge of the community having lived there and also established local relationships off the main streets. He has very good English and works hard to make the experience the best possible.

This Favela tour with Caio was one of the best tours we did in Rio. What an amazing experience!! We did not only get to see first hand how people live in a Favela, we also learned a lot about the history of these neighbourhoods as well as of Brazil. Highly recommend for a big surprise at the beginning of the tour as well👍🏻👌🏻 Thank you Caio! 👏🏻

I had a great experience with Caio. He has lots of first person experience living in a favela and he knows the history and living style there. He’s a good communicator, and did a great job building the bridge between local people and me, a tourist. If you have enough time I would highly recommend to go to the central city to see the first favela in Rio. Plus, Caio is a great photographer!

Great experience with Caio! He is an amazing photographer and you will have an unforgettable experience with many photos to take home. We felt very safe and Caio was always taking care of us. He even made sure to get us a good uber to take us back to the hotel.
