I had such an amazing time on this experience! It was so much fun, exciting, and truly unforgettable. One of my favorite parts was meeting new people and getting to experience one of Rio’s most iconic places with a local. Our guide, Maria Clara, was absolutely wonderful. She was always attentive, caring, and making sure we were having a great time while also keeping us safe throughout the entire experience. You could really tell that she cared about making sure everyone felt comfortable and enjoyed the day. I honestly loved being able to explore the favela with someone who is local and could give us a more authentic experience and perspective. Maria Clara made the experience even more special with her kindness and great energy. I highly recommend this experience, especially if you want to see a different and authentic side of Rio de Janeiro. I would definitely do it again! ❤️🇧🇷
