Experience what life in the Favelas is really like. Travel to the top of the Rocinha Favela on the back of a motorbike, then enter the favela and descend by foot through the small maze-like streets down the mountainside. Along the way visit the studio of a local artist and a childcare centre. The guide will also explain a little about the way of life for the people living in the favelas. This is a unique opportunity to experience the vibrant spirit of the Favela.
Leave from Jacarepaguá airport, going all the way to Sugar Loaf Mountain passing through beaches of Barra, São Conrado, Leblon, Ipanema and Copacabana then around Christ Redeemer and return to Jacarepaguá airport.
A guided tour of this amazing city – take in the iconic Cristo Redentor and the amazing view of Rio from the top of Corcovado, the bohemian district of Santa Teresa, Rio’s unique Cathedral and Lapa, home of samba. Then jump on the cable car up Sugar Loaf mountain (ticket included). Duration approx. 5 hours.
If possible, we will offer the chance to experience a football match at the iconic Maracana Stadium or one of Rio’s many other venues. Football is a South American institution – even if you do not like the game just soaking up the atmosphere and seeing the passionate Latin American support is an experience in itself.
