We are local guides from Rocinha, and we invite you to discover the real heart of our community through authentic experiences, meaningful conversations, and unforgettable moments.
Every story comes directly from people who know Rocinha because they live here.
Tourism should create understanding, appreciation, and respect—not judgment.
We are proud of our roots and committed to sharing them responsibly.
Every experience builds bridges between visitors and our community.
We support local businesses and encourage responsible tourism.
We support local families and give back to the community beyond tourism.



For us, tourism is about more than showing visitors the real Rio. It is also about supporting the people who make our communities what they are.
Our guides and team are directly connected to Rocinha. Through our work, we support local families in need by donating essential food baskets and contributing to the well-being of people within the community.
When you choose to explore Rio with us, you are not only discovering a new place, you are also supporting local people and the community that welcomes visitors from around the world.
Favela da Rocinha Tour was born from a simple idea: to show the real Rocinha beyond the stereotypes.
We are a team of local residents who love where we come from and believe in the power of connection, respect, and understanding.
Every tour is an opportunity to discover our culture, our daily life, our challenges, our achievements, and the people who make Rocinha one of the most vibrant places in Rio de Janeiro.
