Good to get another take on life in Rio.grwsept
A great way to see how 50% of Rio live and a far cry from the beaches of Copacabana. Despite the minimal living space and rudimentary facilities there is a n order to how things work in the Favelas. Our guide Leonardo was great and for those concerned with the security aspect we felt safe and people were unerringly polite. We’ll worth doing. Santa Marta is one of the smaller favelas so you can cover it in a couple of hours and there is a funicular that transports you to the Chapel at the top…then it’s all downhill.
We booked this one online and everything was perfect. The guide was excellent, completely professional, attentive and taking care of every detail.

It took about 3 hours. We also saw the Michael Jackson square, where the video was recorded. I liked everything. Thank you Eduardo and thank you Rio Passeios e Trilhas!
