excellent workout with wonderful tour guide
This was a wonderful experience. We chose to walk through Vidigal favala which took about 20/30 minutes, then the hike began. Most of us had no experience. Marcelo was very patient and flexible. He also took very nice pictures along the way. I would definitely recommend
Operator response
Thanks a lot for your preference. We wish everyone experience this trip along the Vidigal Favela, the most cultural favela in Brasil. See you soon. Cheers!
