Amazing Rocinha Favela Tour

LAURA_B, Aug 2026

I had an incredible experience on the Rocinha Favela Tour! Our tour guide, Stephanie, was absolutely wonderful. She was knowledgeable, friendly, professional, and made the entire experience comfortable and enjoyable. She shared so much interesting information about the community, culture, and history of Rocinha.

Everyone thinks that favélas are dangerous . Gisele , our guide and who live there, tell us how life is in this quarter and is proper laws.

A must have experience

I took the 630pm night tour with Jade. Starts off with a moto ride to the top of the favela where you can see the lights across the entire area. From there Jade will walk you through the favela through various areas (secret spots are worth it). It is a culture immersion and does not feel like a tour. Some areas on the tour feel unquestionable or dangerous, they aren't, it's a good and unique experience. I do recommend the night tour, even if you took the day tour. Jade takes you through the local nightlife where culture comes alive and you can see all the night time drinking areas.
