About Favela Brothers

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.

Part of the resources that we collect through the tours, we donate to assist social projects (capoeira and an English school) that contribute to the education and development of the community's children and youth.

  • Pick up between 8 and 11am (from your hotel / hostel etc);
  • Return transport (we take public transport to arrive to the favela);
  • 3-4 hour tours (walking tour, history, daily life, getting to know locals, visiting stunning roof top views and special projects);
  • Local restaurant stop at end of tour (This is optional, please bring a little extra money incase you wish to eat).
