Was a unique out out of the box experience. Get ready to see everything. How a whole community lives in such a small tight area is mind boggling. Get ready for a nitty gritty Rio. Scooter ride up was insane.
James did a great job walking us around the favela, it was a unique once in a lifetime experience. Amazing too see how busy these areas can be
Great experience to see the local culture
