We will visit the main tourist attractions in downtown Rio de Janeiro, learning more about the city's history, local culture, and social issues. Your guide, besides having specialized training, has lived in the city since birth and closely follows the recent processes of urban transformation caused by both major events and changes in government. The tour will provide a local perspective on the controversies present in Brazil's main tourist capital. After all, is the city marvelous? From an aesthetic point of view, there is no doubt. But what can we say regarding the dynamics of social relations and their impacts on the urban organization of downtown? We will explore three major regions: Lapa, the Business District and the Port Area. Along the way, we will pass by landmarks such as the Selarón Staircase, Municipal Theater, Portuguese Reading Room, Colombo Cafe, Imperial Chapel, Bank of Brasil Art Center, Olympic Boulevard, Museum of the Future, among others. During the walk, we will encounter buildings that are true icons of Rio's architecture, but also bars, graffiti, occupations, and streets that hold within them the untold history found in books. Thus, each tour is a unique experience as the city constantly transforms itself.

The view at the top stretches 365 degrees around the city. You'll see the Christ statue, Lagoa, Sugar Loaf, Ilhas Cagarras, Niterói and the Bay of Rio which are all visible at the peak. There isn't another place in the city of Rio besides Pedra da Gávea that has this unique view! ****(We also offer the best rated and most impactful FAVELA TOUR here in Rio de Janeiro). Dont just book any tour. **** Come with Experience Rio, why? 1. We employ guides from Vidigal. 2. It's always better to have a local guide when entering a Favela. 3.

Come see and experience the largest and most beautiful Favela in Rio, Rocinha!! I am a local resident of Favela Rocinha, was born here and know pretty much everyone; this is my home and I love this place! I want to introduce you to some of the sights, sounds, smells, and culture of this amazing Favela. I'll accompany you to some breathtaking viewpoints and also take you down the curvy streets to experience a bit of life in Rocinha. Don't worry... Rocinha is very safe and I will guide you down the safest streets and neighborhoods. I'll take you by local shops and markets to experience what life is really like in Rocinha.

***OUR TOUR IS IMPACTFUL*** 3 Full hours (indepth conversation) (ALL guides local from the community) We fund social projects + 1 Million reais brought into Vidigal. Ask the other tour agencies if they do this. Short answer is "no". Don't book these types of tours. Vidigal - Known for its culture in art, funk, and film, it has become an iconic place in Cidade Maravilhosa. Starting with an exciting **MOTO TAXI** ride up the Favela. From here, we visit the ecological park, an oasis within the Favela. Built mainly from recycled materials with some truly special views of the south zone! Afterwards, we will go throughout the alleys of (25/14) called "Becos," where you will walk the surrounding areas home to a majority of locals. Meet and converse with residents and have the chance to better understand their lifestyle and the Favela. This part is extremely important and humbling as it's something you couldn't do without a guide. The locals here work hard on the beaches and streets. Cleaning the city and recycling. In restaurants as cooks and bartenders. Even drivers and couriers. People who usually visit the Favela just come for views and the clubs at the top. (even with a guide). These clubs have nothing to do with the Favela and its reality. Furthermore, a lot of culture, i.e., Sambas and choreography of funk to a lot of Art and Food are from the communities of Rio!
