Pouring down a hillside in Rio’s South Zone, the 1-square-mile (2.6-square-kilometer) Rocinha favela is crammed with a colorful maze of cement buildings, tin roofs, and upwards of 180,000 residents living in challenging socioeconomic conditions. The district is considered the largest favela in Brazil, complete with a culture and history of its own, and has entered a period of renaissance, with urban gardens, community art projects, and educational services revitalizing the neighborhood little by little.

Amazing experience.
I went alone so I was really scared and on edge at first. But it turned out to be an awesome experience. Carlos and the beautiful people of Rocinha made me feel at home. Really recommend this experience if you are in Rio , you will not regret it.

Interesting
Very interesting and informative. Lots of walking and climbing steps but worth it get get the views Only negative was we had to take the subway back to our hotel which was over crowded and it was hard to see where to get off. This was not a good experience. I thought we were being picked up and dropped off at our hotel. We had to walk to a different hotel for pick up and subway home
