Highlights
With Local Guide, we offer a unique and immersive experience in the heart of Rio de Janeiro's largest Favela.

After walking about 5 minutes from the meeting point to the moto taxi point, where we usually use this transport, which is the same used by residents in their daily lives, it takes about 10 minutes towards the bars located at the top of Rocinha with a panoramic view. There, you will be gifted with a 360-degree view: Christ the Redeemer, Tijuca Forest, Sugarloaf Mountain, Dois Irmãos Hill, São Conrado Beach, the unique view from the top of the largest favela in Latin America.

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).
