Overview

FAVELA TOUR SANTA MARTA EXPERIENCIE, IS A TOUR WITH PROPROSITION, is much more than a simple excursion or walk through slopes and alleys of the Favela.

It is the connection / exchange between tourist and resident, we have the mission to take the visitor for an immersion into the favela, to know the daily life of the resident, to understand the challenges and achievements over more than 100 years since the creation of the first favela, is to have a broad view of the day-to-day of a favela resident of Rio, since more than 25% of the population of Rio lives in Favelas.

In addition to understanding our daily life, your visit contributes 100% to the development of educational, linguistic, sports or cultural projects within the Favela, since part of the value paid by tourists 50% is applied to these actions, developed by residents, without any support from the public authority.

We introduce you to much more than a simple excursion or walk through the favela, but rather a FAVELA TOUR EXPERIENCE with a purpose.

COME LIVE THIS TRUE EXPERIENCE.
