Description
Your tour will be unique on this visit! Your guide, born and raised in this favela, will share with you the daily life of a resident. You will go up the favela by cable car to the top of the hill, where you will be able to see Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf Mountain, Copacabana, Ipanema, Rocinha Favela, Vidigal and Morro Dois Irmãos! Going down alleys and alleys – a path made by residents – you will visit the guide's house and his family, his mother who collects watches (more than 380 watches) throughout the house and on the upper floors you will visit our social projects. Such as language classes, mosaic workshops, painting classes, our community library and on the terrace of the house our gastronomic space where we develop cooking workshops for children and young people from the favela, always valuing local culture and history with social, economic and cultural inclusion. You will also walk the path that Queen Elizabeth II, Michael Jackson, Spike Lee, Hugh Jackman (Wolverine), Madonna, Alicia Keys, Bradley Cooper and many others have walked in the past. Your visit will directly contribute to the development of our initiatives and projects.
