The best day of the entire vacation!

My 73-year-old mother and I went on this tour today and was a day we will never forget!! Two women from the US completely out of our element, yet we were never concerned for our safety, The tour guide spoke very good English, and was extremely knowledgeable about the area because grew up there and still lives there. He treated us like family introducing us to his sister and many friends as we passed by. I have no words to describe how grateful we are to be able to go all the way to the top, be welcomed into actual homes, and learn so much along the way. Absolutely amazing experience!!

We spent a fun and informative few hours in the company of our excellent guide Carlos exploring the favela. We learned so much and saw places we could never have seen on our own. Highly recommended and very safe. Thanks Carlos!
