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,
and the best way to get there is by taxi. We suggest you
plan your visit for the afternoon, to enjoy the sun and
the incredibly romantic view far above the lights of Rio,
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.
Do not forget your camera!!!
Corcovado
- Rio From a Christ’s Eye View
Not
that close to Copacabana and Ipanema, and the route there

does not know this famed landmark of Rio? Everybody has
seen the beautiful panoramic views on TV! Well, it is
your turn to experience it in person! Why not use one
of our taxi drivers for the entire trip? He will take
you there, wait for you, and bring you back to your apartment
or hotel. You will have a driver you know, and will spend
even less than the usual price. After the visit to the
top, you may decide to take a walk in the famous Tijuca
Park that spreads over 80 sq. miles. In its lush tropical
forest, and between creeks and waterfalls, you will repose
your eyes in a mind-boggling variety of exotic plants
and animals. Do not forget your camera!!!
