Most tourists never see this side of Rio de Janeiro 🇧🇷
•
The favelas are an important part of Rio’s history and culture. Many of them were built decades ago when people moved to the city looking for work and housing was scarce.
• 
Today, millions of people live in these communities, creating vibrant neighborhoods full of music, street art, small businesses and incredible views over the city.
• 
Visiting a favela shows a completely different side of Rio that most tourists never see.
• 
Would you explore the favelas when traveling to Rio?
