Rocinha Favela Walking Tour

About this experience

The Rocinha Favela Walking Tour takes visitors through Rocinha, the largest favela in Brazil, located in Rio de Janeiro's South Zone between the neighbourhoods of São Conrado and Gávea. Home to an estimated 70,000 to 100,000 residents, Rocinha developed from a small settlement in the 1940s into a densely built hillside community with its own commerce, schools, and cultural life. The tour covers the main streets and alleys of the community, with guides explaining the history of the favela, its infrastructure, and daily life for residents. Stops typically include local markets, street art, and viewpoints over the surrounding city. Among the things to do in Rio De Janeiro, this walking tour offers a ground-level perspective on one of the city's most populated urban communities. Tickets include guided access throughout the route.
