Rio Favela Tour | Including Santa Teresa and lunch with a breathtaking view
This combination of city and Favela Tour is a Community-based-tourism. CBT is quite different from some other “Favela Tours” so-called "Safari Favela Tours", in which you just pass by leaving nothing substantial to the community.
Our Favela Tour is about society, urban transformations, and entrepreneurship. Besides, is a cultural, artistic, and gastronomic immersion.
The visitor is not there just to observe, he contributes financially to the economic development of that favela/community visited.
How? Consuming their products and services, whether artistic-cultural or gastronomic.
Moreover, the entrepreneurs have the opportunity to show visitors their thriving economy biomass and a strong sense of community. It is about being part of society. There is much more in a favela than the news spread about poverty and violence.
Wait no more! Go ahead and book this experience!
I promise you'll not regret it.

Santa Teresa
The neighborhood’s cobbled streets are lined with some of the finest examples of colonial and French architecture of the time, mansions that were once home to the city’s wealthy elite, and today function as artists’ studios, restaurants, and guesthouses.
The neighborhood is also known as the artistic heart of Rio.
Strolling around the neighborhood is a pleasure in itself, and the views offered from the top are fantastic.
