Favela Rocinha Sustainable Tour 

The favela tour is a walking tour inside the biggest slum in South America. Rejane Reis, owner of Exotic Tours, trains local people how to be guides as a sustainable project inside Rocinha. Our work inside favelas started in 1991 and has growing along these years and became an improvement project visited by many important TV’s, journals and magazines around the world and also thousands of people from the globe looking for an inside point of view of Rio de Janeiro and its culture.

Your visit will help a local school as well as create work opportunities within the community.
