Overview

Favela Brothers is a family run tour company, operated by the brothers Maka and Obi Basilio, both born and raised in Favela da Rocinha. We decided to organize guided tours within the community in which we live to offer a unique and quality service for travellers who are in search of culture and knowledge. Our tours allow a great immersion into daily life inside the favela and it is a great cultural exchange for all. You will learn about the history from the eyes of the locals, As the whole tour is carried out on foot where you get to know the alleys, rooftops, shops, cultural projects with which we work, and delicious local restaurants if you get hungry.

Let's have a genuine cultural exchange (We can learn a lot from each other).

Your support is greatly appreciated! ;)

Eye opening, inspiring, and extremely insightful

I just finished an incredible tour with Roberto through Rocinha. Met incredible people, got introduced to beautiful local initiatives, and it opened my eyes to a completely different side of Brazil.

What they do is vital, and so important. Bringing people along to show the beauty of this community and to give great insight into the daily life. This breaks down preconceived ideas that you maybe have.

Definitely a must when you come to RIO
Excellent!

This was fantastic! We had Roberto as our guide, and he was super communicative. He picked us up at our hotel, drove us to the base of Rocinha, and then we rode motorcycles to the top. We felt totally safe and comfortable the whole time, and the barbecue lunch we had was the best meal of our trip. He also took some great photos throughout the tour. Highly recommend!
Quickly becoming the pride of Rio.

Just finished doing the favela tour which was awesome. Loved the narrow alleys and the streets and rocinha people. Everything was awesome from the pickup, the guide, the drop off. Everything was great.
Important of all everything was safe.
And shoutout to the best guide I had ever had. Roberto. Explained everything in English very well. Took amazing photos as well.
And also shoutout to the management as well. Replied to Everything within minutes.
This company is very professional.
