I really enjoyed my favela experience! My brazilian friends told me this is a 5 star favela :-) It's safe here and the people are nice and friendly. I walked around with my phone at night and nothing happened to me. The view of the mountains and the bay is very beautiful! You can see the sunset and sunrise, I have many beautiful photos! Close to Copacabana beach. It's on a mountain, so you had to climb the stairs on foot, or on an uber, or on a motorcycle taxi. I really enjoyed riding a motorcycle taxi! It was like an attraction for me :-) I also really enjoyed watching my neighbors have a party on the rooftop with songs and dances. It was a wonderful experience for a tourist!
