Itinerary

  1. The real Rolé de Cria! Our Favela Tour in Rocinha is a unique tour, conducted by local guides with access crachá, who provide a complete experience through the streets of the community. During the tour, we climb the favela by motorcycle or, if you prefer, by van. We also visited a rooftop at the top of the favela, with amazing views, and we descended the favela on foot through alleys and alleys, which have stairs and some narrow areas — something common in a favela — allowing you to experience the routine and energy of the place.

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).
