On our 4-Hour Private Favela with Tijuca Rainforest Tour, we will start seeing Rocinha Favela, the largest Favela in Latin America and explore the untamed Tijuca Rainforest right at the heart of Rio.








Our Private Favela Walking Tour offers an authentic look at favelas, an essential part of Rio life. Your local guide will meet you at your hotel and bring you to Rocinha Favela in our private car.
Discover Rio’s Rocinha Favela on a 3-hour private tour with a local guide. Since 2002, our tours have welcomed over one million guests and earned a #1 rating on TripAdvisor. Our local guides ensure a smooth start by picking you up from your hotel and transporting you to Rocinha.
Once there, we’ll explore the favela on foot, walking entirely downhill. Please wear comfortable shoes and bring water, as Rocinha is large and has uneven steps. Motor taxis are busy working here, alongside Rocinha’s many small businesses.

Reviews from our customers
This is an excellent tour. You learn a lot about the city and how people have taken it into their own hands to build a life. A favela tour is far from “let’s go look at poor people”, as some on social media suggest. The guide is very knowledgeable and speaks excellent English. Wear good shoes since the roads and stairs are steep.

This was awesome to be in a place like that. We were very secure by walking from the top to the bottom of the favela with our guide. Thank you very much for a great tour.
