We are very happy to hear that you had a great time in Rio. Guide is truly an amazing guide and she would like to know that you enjoyed the tour. Thanks for your feedback! Do not hesitate to contact us the next time you visit Rio!
A great way to see how 50% of Rio live and a far cry from the beaches of Copacabana. Despite the minimal living space and rudimentary facilities there is a n order to how things work in the Favelas. Our guide Leonardo was great and for those concerned with the security aspect we felt safe and people were unerringly polite. We’ll worth doing. Santa Marta is one of the smaller favelas so you can cover it in a couple of hours and there is a funicular that transports you to the Chapel at the top…then it’s all downhill.

The view from the favelas was what I liked the most. I recommend other visitors to visit only one favela as we did on this tour.
