Begin your tour by heading to the Tavares Bastos favela. Upon arrival, hop aboard a Kombi, the most famous mode of transportation in the favelas.
At the top of the favela, see BOPE, the special operations battalion of the police. This is the only favela in Brazil pacified by BOPE, offering important comparisons with favelas without a police presence.
Stop for a game of football on the court that appears in FIFA Street. Then, go to The Maze, a house covered in mosaics and full of history, offering one of the most breathtaking views of the city.
Afterwards, visit the Nami Museum, where street art fights against violence against women.
