What people are saying:
A night at one of Rio de Janeiro’s infamous favelas, will unquestionably be a new experience you're unlikely to forget in a hurry. Whist the prospect of dancing the night away in one of the city's most dangerous neighbourhoods sounds daunting, the reality is completely the opposite. Brazilians are renowned for knowing how to have a good time, and the nightlife in the favelas epitomises this, as the locals forget about their daily routines and let their hair down for a night of Favela madness! Just make sure you book it through a tour guide, rather than braving it by yourself.

The only advice for visiting Rocinha would be to not go with one of the government-funded tour agencies. They are essentially propaganda machines set up to make a profit for the authorities at the exp...

The slums in Brazil have always been daunting with their intricate relationships and terrain. However, as the most daunting Rio slum, it is placed in the middle of the mountain where the rich are gathered. It is no exaggeration to say that the tramp of Rio. The scenery you see every day is far more than the millionaires who live in the rich areas. And the slums still see the image of Christ. Perhaps you have also seen the signs of these slums in Hollywood blockbusters such as "Speed and Passion 5", rugged roads, dense brick houses, stinking ditch along the street, and various utility poles tied up by five flowers. Of course, the real environment and the film really do not differ much, and it is not like a lot of domestic films, just to build a special area for filming.

The main street of the slums in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil is not dirty, but the amount of sewage on the ground has increased significantly after going deep into the streets. But in general, Rio's slums are far from imaginary dilapidation and horror. Different life and different living methods do not need to envy or despise each other. Everywhere, go to feel, experience, do not disturb, do not force ...
recommended to choose the local regular travel agency launched a half-day tour, about 120 local coins per person, including hotel round-trip transfer and English tour guide. Followed by the guides to ensure absolute safety, especially as Rocinha, the largest slum in South America, the government announced that it had eliminated dangerous elements such as gangsters and drug dealers a few years ago. Most of them can be photographed (but not close to people) ), occasionally, individual road guides will remind you that you can't shoot at all. It is recommended to respect their rules so as not to be extravagant.

In 2013, there were many informal buildings in the slums. Slums are also rapidly becoming the most significant manifestation of urban poverty in developing countries. There are many different names for slums, and housing ownership arrangements vary. In all slums, buildings range from the simplest shacks to permanent buildings, and some houses are even surprisingly good. However, most slums lack access to clean water, electricity, sanitation and other basic services.
Rio de Janeiro's slum location is very good, it can be said that the ice and fire two heaven

Introduction
The Rosinian slums are located on the mountainside of Mount Jesus, facing the beautiful Ipanema Beach, and you can see the Christ Jesus statue of the New Seven Wonders when looking out from the window. Not far from here are high-rise apartments and luxury commercial buildings. Just a stone's throw away from the bustling scene, the view is completely different, constructing a unique style of Rio de Janeiro. It is the archetype of the ghetto in the movie City of God.

Yo tourists...stay the hell out of this district. The city of Rio is the only city in the world that has it's own army and many a time they are battling the drug lords in this Favela. Every house here is illegal and the people here are not residents of Rio but deemed squatters. This is not a tourist spot but the largest slum in the city and Brazil.
It was a block from the rich man's district, over the expensive high-rises, over the wooden pegged sheds and the low, crowded, broken-brick houses.
Brazil is a country with a wide gap between rich and poor, so slums exist in several major cities. The Rosignia slum is the most famous slum in Rio. The houses here are mostly old-fashioned buildings, and the sanitation is relatively poor. It is in sharp contrast with the bustling city not far away. This is the place where ordinary people in Brazil live and live. Many world-class stars walk out of these slums. It is really not easy. When you come here, you must pay attention to your own safety, especially your belongings. As the saying goes, if you do not encounter robbery and theft in Brazil, it is a miracle. Therefore, you must pay attention.
They are basically densely packed houses, but the colorful ones also form a very beautiful scenery. The inside of the line is indeed quite scary. It is recommended not to bring too much money in the past, because thieves are also more powerful.
