We start our experience at exit A of the São Conrado metro, next to the Universal Church, where you will be met by a local guide.

2. We go up by motorcycle cab or van, typical Rocinha transportation, experiencing the daily life of the favela in an authentic way.
3. First stop: a viewpoint with panoramic views of the sea, Christ the Redeemer, and the south of Rio.
4. We visit a local social project, where you can learn about initiatives that transform lives and, if you wish, contribute with voluntary donations.
5. We continue to a resident's terrace, where we hear real stories and enjoy the landscape of Brazil's largest favela.
6. We pass an art gallery and community workshops, highlighting the favela's cultural production.
7. We visited religious temples that reveal the spiritual diversity of the area.
8. We ended with a walk through the alleys, promoting a connection with residents and a humane and respectful view of the favela, experiencing real, safe, and transformative tourism.
