The #1 Favela Tour on TripAdvisor

The story of Rocinha is inseparable from Brazil’s complex history. After the abolition of slavery in 1888, freed Black Brazilians were displaced to the city’s outskirts, forming the first communities known as “favelas.” Over the decades, economic migration from rural Brazil further shaped these neighborhoods, bringing a diverse mix of people to cities like Rio. Rocinha, now home to over 100,000 residents, stands as a testament to resilience, ingenuity, and community spirit.

Reviews from our customers

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. A favela tour is far from “let’s go look at poor people”, as some on social media suggest. The guide is very knowledgeable and speaks excellent English. Wear good shoes since the roads and stairs are steep.
