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.
What's Included
