A great experience

It was an intresting experience, safety, to a famous favela Rocinha. Our local guide, Johnny, grew up in the favela and knew all the best location. Becouse of late time scheduled tour (after 17), we couldnt see any capoeira dance, but next time one must think about that also. I strongly recomand it, its giving you the possibility to think out of the box.
