Favela Tour — since 1992

Regardless of what you may hear about safety in Rio or its favelas, the Favela Tour is absolutely safe! Over more than 30 years of operation, we have NEVER had any issues on a regular tour.

The regular tour lasts approximately three hours. The itinerary includes visits to different areas of the communities, opportunities to enjoy panoramic views, and an introduction to local social projects.

We accept payment in cash (BRL, USD and EUR) and Pix transfer.

Credit card, PayPal and Wise payments are available upon request and subject to a 10% surcharge due to taxes.

Pick-up is available at most hotels in the South Zone of Rio. If you are staying at a private address, a nearby hotel will be designated as your meeting point. Please contact us with your accommodation details to confirm pick-up arrangements for your location.

We recommend comfortable clothes and walking shoes, as the tour includes walking through community streets and narrow passageways. You can bring water, sun protection, and a raincoat (in case the weather is rainy).

Fill out our tour request form with your preferred date, time, group size, and language. Or speak with us directly via WhatsApp (+55 21 99989-0074) or e-mail (info@favelatour.com.br).

Our team will review your preferences and contact you to confirm availability and the next steps.

Once in Rio, to avoid extra charges, DO NOT use third-party agents to contact us.

Submitting the form does not guarantee a reservation.
