“A fascinating and authentic experience in Rocinha.”
We had an excellent experience exploring Rocinha with our local guide, Kim. She shared fascinating insights into the community’s history, culture, and everyday life while making us feel safe and comfortable throughout the tour.
We enjoyed the motorcycle taxi ride to the top of the community, the incredible views of Rio, and visits to local cultural and social projects, including capoeira, football, and local art.
What made the experience special was that it went beyond simply visiting a favela — we had the opportunity to understand the community and meet local people.

Whether you choose the
morning or afternoon tour, you’ll enjoy the same culturally rich experience. If you prefer cooler temperatures and softer light for photography, the morning tour is ideal.
Tip: Wear comfortable shoes, as the tour involves some walking on uneven steps and narrow alleys.
