About this experience
We HIRE LOCAL guides and families. A percentage of each tour goes back into the comunidade through investments and job opportunities, our tours directly impact lives within the Favela.
How often can you say you say to yourself "What an incredible experience". Well Experience Rio is here to do just that. Don't just pass by the Favela or hike up the mountain. Be the Favela, see what its like through the eyes of someone who lives here. With me, you'll get the most realistic experience you can get. Come walk the back alleys, find the Favela art throughout the community. Experience a lunch just like the Carioca does but with a better view. With us, you'll be more than local. You''ll be home!
