What to expect:

Led by guides born and raised in Rocinha, our tours offer a respectful, authentic, and immersive look into daily life inside Brazil’s largest favela.

Take a moto-taxi ride—just like locals do—to the top of Rocinha and take in the view from above. You’ll walk through lively streets, visit murals and street-art spots, try local snacks, and engage with residents who shape this community’s creativity and resilience. Along the way, you’ll learn about Rocinha’s challenges, achievements, and vibrant spirit through real stories from those who grew up here.

Learn about the realities of favela life that expand your understanding beyond the stereotypical narrative, and walk away with a deeper knowledge of Rocinha’s history, identity, and social landscape.

We follow ethical tourism practices, keep our groups small, and design every route to respect the integrity of the neighbourhood. Your visit makes a difference: 20% of all profits are invested back into Rocinha through local programs and community initiatives, ensuring your experience has a positive impact and leaves you with a deeper connection to the favela.
