Book with Henry!

Henry creates fabulous memories! We hiked up and down favela Vidigal and even got a moto ride. I am sure we saw things you would never see on another tour, as Henry lives in the favela. His wife, Tais, is a wonderful chef. You will not be disappointed in booking a meal with them. My husband also took the Two Brothers hike. He said it was amazing.
One of kind Tour!

Henry is the man! Learned a lot about the local favela while also taking us on a hike. He knows how to take amazing pictures.Highly recommend doing a tour with him.
Even if you only have one day, give this tour a shot

This tour with Henry and Digao was extremely well done. They arranged transport on motorbike up to the top where we began the tour. Henry was very honest and informative about the realities of living in a favela. I feel like I got to know the city on a deeper level and what daily life is like. We had to leave early for another tour so Henry arranged transport to our next meeting point which was awesome for him to do. Not once did I feel like I was in an unsafe situation. I highly recommend this tour as it was very informative and laid back. I also like knowing that both Henry and Digao both give a lot back to the community they live in.
One of the most impactful experiences in my life

Henry and Digão are incredible people. They are passionate about what they do and contribute a lot to the local community. They showed us the reality of life in the favela. It is hard for me to put in words what I felt, all I can say is that what they are doing is very important and everyone needs to experience it. Easily one of the most impactful experience in my life. Thank Henry and Digão.
Experience was very brilliant if you come one day to Rio you should definitely go with henry for favela tour
