Our mission is to reach the top of the highest mountain in Vidigal, the big brother among the 2 brothers.
We go up on foot through the real labyrinth that is the Vidigal favela, which is undoubtedly the most immersive and culturally shocking way to do it.
Favelas are unique places, that are sort of like a ghetto or slum. Let's get an idea of how is the daily life of the residents, discover bars, parks and typical Brazilian street food. So you will also get exposed to a side of Brazil not many tourists see.
Arriving at the entrance to the trail, it takes another 50 minutes way up, now in the middle of nature and with several lookouts that provide beautiful views of the city, the sea, beaches, and forests, in addition to having a true cabin with a Rocinha view. (largest favela in Latin America).
Upon reaching the top, the view is simply cinematic.
The way back is also an exciting motorcycle adventure at good speed through the alleys.
Please note that is it forbidden to take photos and videos in Vidigal. This is why you will not find it here. So this tour is halfway secret. If you want to know what Vidigal is like, please contact us to book this tour.
