Favella tour
Carlos was absolutely incredible. Had such positive energy and wonderful knowledge of all of São Paulo. We have been blessed to travel all over the world and he was definitely one of the best. The guadi faces house in the favella can not be missed and can’t believe it’s not advertised it’s unbelievable.
Awesome experience - highly recommended
Danilo was an excellent guide. Not only did he provide a lot of background information on the way there, but together with the G10 organization he was able to offer incredible insights into life in the Favela during those 5 hours— with meaningful encounters, great food, unique views, and authentic perspectives. He is a fantastic guide! Highly recommended!
Paraisópolis Favela Tour – São Paulo
I did a guided tour of Paraisópolis, the largest favela in São Paulo, and it was one of the most eye-opening experiences of my trip. My personal guide Adi was fantastic — fluent in English and deeply knowledgeable about the community. He helped translate from our local favela guide, Marcus, who spoke Portuguese, so I never felt out of the loop. The tour was informative, respectful, and gave a nuanced look at daily life in Paraisópolis — both the challenges and the incredible creativity that thrives there. I was amazed by the talent, art, and sense of community within the favela. At no point did I feel unsafe; instead, I felt welcomed and inspired. The highlight for me was visiting what locals call the “Gaudí of Brazil” house — a surreal, hand-built architectural wonder that felt like stepping into a dream. If you’re visiting São Paulo, don’t shy away from this experience. It’s powerful, human, and unforgettable — a side of Brazil that deserves to be seen and understood firsthand.
