Corcovado & Favela Tour with Transfer
Description
Come and visit the Christ, the Redeemer, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, and combine this tour with a unique glimpse into the local life in a favela. This half-day tour offers two distinct experiences for those who want to see a traditional tourist attraction, but also wish to have a better understanding of the socioeconomic aspects of our city. By minivan, we go through the Tijuca Forest, driving to the top of the Corcovado hill to reach the Christ, the Redeemer. Then, we combine this tour with the insight into the lives of those who live in a favela. We may visit Vidigal or Rocinha, it depends on the day. Be friendly, be respectful and enjoy the tour! Tour guide, roundtrip transfer, favela tour and tickets to the Christ included.

Itinerary
With arms wide open to the Guanabara Bay, the statue of the Christ is a work of art that cannot be compared to anything else. You may seat on the stairs in front of the Christ to take a better picture with the statue on the back. Do not miss the opportunity to take pictures of the city from up there as well.
We walk through the alleys, see how the locals live and understand more about their everyday life. Home to thousands of people, the favela is a place of resistance with vibrant culture and lots to see. We may visit Rocinha or Vidigia. Depends on the day.
