We had an amazing time on our Rocinha tour! Our guides were two cousins who were born and raised there, and they were incredibly friendly, funny, open, and welcoming. They explained everything really well, answered all our questions, and made the whole experience feel authentic and personal. We learned a lot and got a great insight into life in Rocinha. We definitely recommend this tour! thank you both for a great experience!

Una experiencia increíble y totalmente recomendable. Pudimos conocer de cerca la vida en la favela, sus orígenes y su realidad, mientras reíamos, bailábamos y disfrutábamos muchísimo. [...] Además, que sean grupos reducidos hace que la experiencia sea mucho más cercana y auténtica. Sin duda merece la pena vivir esta experiencia con ellos.

Before you book

The things people ask us first

Everything here is already answered somewhere on this page. We put it in one place so you do not have to hunt for it.

How much is it?

R$ 200 per person. One price, whether you come on your own or with friends. You settle it with us, not at a door in the middle of the night.

How do I pay?

Cash, credit or debit card, Revolut transfer or Bitcoin. Tell us which one works for you when you book and we sort it out in the same conversation.

Which favela is the party in?

Rocinha or Vidigal, depending on the night. Baile funk is not a fixed venue with a ticket booth, it moves, and which one is happening changes week to week. We know which one, and we know the people at it.

How many people will be with us?

Your group only, 6 to 8 people, never more. Book for two and it is the two of you. We never merge bookings to fill a slot, which is the whole reason we do not run vans.

Are we ever left on our own?

No. One of us is with you from the moment we meet until you are on your way back. Not dropped off at a door, not handed to a driver.

Where do we meet?

We send you the exact pin when you confirm, because it depends on which party is on that night. It is easy to reach from Copacabana, Ipanema and Leblon.

Which languages do you speak?

English, Spanish and Portuguese. We grew up switching between the three, and the night is guided in whichever of them works best for you.
