Rocinha Cultural Experience Walking Tour with Local Guide

(9 reviews)
Rio De Janeiro, Brazil

3 hours (approximately)
Offered in: Portuguese and 3 more

The difference of my tour is that you live the Rocinha really, accompanying a local Guide who was born and lives in the community. We start with the famous motortaxi climb — an authentic adventure that already puts the vacationer within the rhythm of the favela. The whole journey is safe, cultural and full of real stories, showing exclusive sights, urban art, local business and the routine of the locals. It is not an ordinary tourist tour: it is a human immersion that only those who live here can provide.
