A Favela Expedition to Remember

Published on Jan, 2025

Edmundo was an exceptional tour guide. He explained to our group so many different details about these neighborhoods and answered any questions that we had. He also advised us as to where and when we could film, and we were also treated to a fantastic performance by some young children/teenagers who couldn't be more accommodating. It was a great way to spend an afternoon and learn about a part of Rio de Janeiro few tourists get to see, and that more tourists should.

We love our tour guide!

Ashura Guy did such a great job of giving us so much information about the history of the Cabela’s! He took wonderful pictures of us and even showed us the kids and we got to talk to the kids as well. I really enjoyed that her and I feel even more well-informed about the fella that idea before I took a tour. My daughter and I would recommend this tour guide to anyone who takes the tour! We love our tour guide.

The Guide was friendly, energetic, and insightful regarding the history versus the present circumstances of the favela culture. As the guide prepared us for, the people living in the favela were inviting and demonstrated that you do not need to be wealthy to have class and a passion for life as they eagerly shared with is. I highly recommend this tour. It’s an eye opener and a great life experience to share.

Fun and Safe Favela Tour

Published on Oct, 2024

This was a great way to explore a favela. We learned a lot and got to interact and meet fun and interesting people.

A good learning experience

Published on Aug, 2024

I love our guide, Martin's sense of humor. It was really a privilege to be able to walk through a favela since we are strongly discouraged to go there by ourselves. I felt very safe and did not feel uncomfortable at all. It was a great opportunity to see, hear and learn about the history and how the favela functions. The paths that we took were one of a kind, and the views from the lookout point was breathtaking. Would highly recommend it!
