Favela Walking Tour
***OUR TOUR IS IMPACTFUL*** 3 Full hours (indepth conversation) (ALL guides local from the community) We fund social projects + 1 Million reais brought into Vidigal. Ask the other tour agencies if they do this. Short answer is "no". Don't book these types of tours. Vidigal - Known for its culture in art, funk, and film, it has become an iconic place in Cidade Maravilhosa. Starting with an exciting **MOTO TAXI** ride up the Favela. From here, we visit the ecological park, an oasis within the Favela. Built mainly from recycled materials with some truly special views of the south zone! Afterwards, we will go throughout the alleys of (25/14) called "Becos," where you will walk the surrounding areas home to a majority of locals. Meet and converse with residents and have the chance to better understand their lifestyle and the Favela. This part is extremely important and humbling as it's something you couldn't do without a guide. The locals here work hard on the beaches and streets. Cleaning the city and recycling. In restaurants as cooks and bartenders. Even drivers and couriers. People who usually visit the Favela just come for views and the clubs at the top. (even with a guide). These clubs have nothing to do with the Favela and its reality. Furthermore, a lot of culture, i.e., Sambas and choreography of funk to a lot of Art and Food are from the communities of Rio!
