This two-hour walking tour explores Rocinha, the largest favela in Latin America, located in Rio de Janeiro. It challenges common misconceptions about the area by showing daily life through the eyes of a local guide. The tour begins near the metro station, where participants take a moto-taxi up to the top of Rocinha to start the walk. During the tour, the guide explains the history and development of the community from its origins to the present day. Visitors follow routes used by local residents, passing through streets lined with homes, a supermarket, and various local businesses. The guide also introduces social projects that support the neighborhood. The tour ends with views from a hilltop vantage point, where guests can take photographs. Participants should bring money for optional donations to charities, entry to viewpoints, souvenirs, and moto-taxi rides. The tour is conducted in English and includes a local guide with a sense of humor.
