What you'll experience

Rocinha sits between the São Conrado and Gávea neighborhoods in the South Zone of Rio de Janeiro and is one of the best-known communities in Brazil. On this tour you see it from the inside, with a licensed guide.

We pick you up at your accommodation and head up together. You walk the becos and vielas — the alleys that connect the community — stop at lookouts over the ocean and the South Zone hills, watch a capoeira circle and ride part of the way by motorbike. You can add a drone video to take the memory home from above.

A tour of about 3 hours to see the real Rio, with respect for the people who live there and the peace of mind of booking with an agency registered with Cadastur.
