Itinerary

  • Tavares Bastos

    What are favelas? Favelas, also known as comunidades, are informal settlements that are typically located on the outskirts of urban areas. They are often characterized by poverty, overcrowding, and lack of basic infrastructure such as running water and sewage systems. Favelas emerged in Brazil in the late 19th century, as rural migrants moved to cities in search of work. Over time, favelas became a permanent fixture of Brazil's urban landscape, and today they are home to millions of people across the country. History of favelas in Rio de Janeiro Rio de Janeiro is home to some of the largest and most well-known favelas in Brazil. The first favela in Rio, Morro da Providência, was established in the late 19th century by soldiers returning from the Canudos War. Over time, other favelas emerged in Rio as rural migrants and others seeking housing moved to the city. Today, Rio is home to over 700 favelas, many of which are located in the hills overlooking the city. You will be visiting and interacting with local favelas' entrepreneurs.
