The Favela Tour gives you the opportunity to experience the reality of many people’s lives in Rio, by using local guides to introduce you to the other side of Rio that you would not normally see. It aims to change the general idea that favelas are simply no-go areas dominated by criminals and instead educate you so that you have a greater understanding of Brazilian society. Most Samba Schools participating in the Carnival parade come from favelas, which demonstrates how rich in Brazilian culture they are and what the favelas have to offer.
