Activity itinerary

Favela da Rocinha

  • 1h 30m
  • Admission ticket included
Rocinha is the largest favela in Brazil, located in the South Zone of Rio de Janeiro, between São Conrado and Gávea, known for its vibrant cultural life, strong local trade and complex history that transformed it from an old coffee farm into a densely populated community, with growing infrastructure (concrete, partial basic sanitation) and social contrasts, facing challenges such as irregular housing and precarious access, but also standing out for resilience, social projects, art and tourism, with easy access by metro and vans.
