Favella Tours
- The Dark Side of a Glitzy Metropolis
Rio de Janeiro is a city of contrasts
and extremes. Overwhelming energy and glitz go hand in
hand with poverty and desperation. However, even those
who live in the shady parts of the city have kept their
joie de vivre and optimism, and that is what makes Rio
unique. We offer you the opportunity to have a look beyond
the shine of Sugar Loaf, Copacabana, and Ipanema in taking
a guided tour through the famous Favelas. This is also
an opportunity to have a close look on the work done by
many volunteer-based organizations to improve the conditions
of life in these poor neighborhoods. Most of the projects
aim to provide conditions for a better future for the
children who are the innocent victims of social inequalities.
If you really want to have a full picture of Rio, this
part of it is also worth seeing.
We do not recommend you visit by yourself; please use
our experienced guides.
The
Sugar Loaf
The
Sugar Loaf is relatively close to Ipanema and Copacabana,

the domestic aiport and Niteroi on the other side of the
bay.
You will find a big bar on the summit, where you can buy
some drinks to quench your thirst while enjoying the view.
It is open till 10 PM.
