Highlights
nstalled in Vidigal since 2020, I invite you to discover this favela from the inside, far from clichés and misconceptions. Together, we will travel its alleys, discuss its history, organization and evolution, in order to better understand the place that favelas occupy in the city of Rio de Janeiro. The tour begins with a motorcycle taxi ride up to the heights of Vidigal, before a descent on foot through the alleys of the neighborhood. Along the way, you will discover the daily lives of its inhabitants, the energy of this community and great views of the ocean and surrounding neighborhoods. More than just a visit, this experience is a human immersion, authentic and respectful, that will allow you to take a fresh look at one of the most emblematic facets of Rio de Janeiro.

About Rio de Janeiro
Rio de Janeiro sweeps between mountains and ocean, a city of famous beaches, granite peaks, samba rhythms and a carnival known around the world.
Christ the Redeemer stands with open arms atop Corcovado, looking down on the city, and cable cars climb Sugarloaf Mountain for views across Guanabara Bay. Below, the beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema are the stage for daily life, with volleyball, kiosks and the wave-patterned promenade, while Leblon and Arpoador extend the strip.
Top-ranked sights in Rio de Janeiro: Christ the Redeemer Statue (Cristo Redentor), Sugarloaf Mountain (Pao de Açúcar), Selarón Steps (Escadaria Selarón).
