Practical information about the tour
📍The Only Meeting Point:
Estrada da Gávea, 837 – São Conrado
São Conrado Metro Station – EXIT C
After meeting your guide, you’ll hop on a motorbike and ride through the winding streets of Rocinha all the way to the top of the favela. From this breathtaking viewpoint, your exclusive drone video is captured—revealing Rio from an angle few visitors ever see.
From start to finish, the experience is led by those who know Rocinha best. Our Favela Walking Tour is guided by local residents who open the doors to their community and share real, personal stories about daily life, history, development, and culture. This is not a scripted tour or a guidebook version of the favela—it’s an authentic journey told through local eyes, offering insight, connection, and memories that stay with you long after the tour ends.
Rocinha is the largest Favela in Rio
Located between São Conrado and Gávea, Rocinha is the largest favela in Brazil and home to a vibrant community with its own economy, culture, music, art, and history. What began as a small hillside settlement has grown into a dense urban neighborhood with shops, schools, street markets, and breathtaking views of Rio.
Rocinha plays an essential role in the city of Rio and represents both the challenges and the strength of urban communities in Brazil.
By joining this tour, you’re not only discovering a different side of Rio, but also supporting local residents and community initiatives through ethical tourism.
