favelatour.org & Favelas Adventure
favelatour.org and Favelas Adventures offer different tours and sport events in the favela of Rocinha. We strive to empower the people of Rocinha by giving them the opportunity to run, organize and make the tours themselves. These residents who have created this company all reside in the favela and the income made from these tours is put directly back into the community. In the future the hope is to use a percentage of the funds earned to build a community center for the arts and leisure programs that exist in the favela. This in turn enables the guides in Rocinha to think and act as changemakers.
