Private Tour of Paraisópolis Favela

After we collect you from your accommodation at a designated time, our journey will begin to the second largest favela in Sao Paulo.

Following a half-hour drive, we will arrive at Paraisópolis. Upon arrival, you will start to discover the life within this favela, home to around 100,000 individuals, and delve into its rich culture and traditions.

Our first destination will be the Community Association headquarters, where you'll learn about its origins, foundational history, and significant initiatives. Subsequently, we will visit the community radio studio to experience a live broadcast and engage in conversation with some of the hosts.

Next, the tour proceeds to Berbéla's mechanical workshop, where you can observe the creative process as he transforms old car parts, scrap metal, and various discarded items into art.

Continuing, we will visit the residence of sculptor Estevão, renowned as the Gaudí of Paraisópolis, who resides in a distinctive stone house. His home features everyday objects such as cups and plates that contribute structurally to its design.

As we navigate through the winding streets of Paraisópolis, we will arrive at the Palmeirinha football field. Here, you may even catch a glimpse of a training session for participants in the "Rugby for All" initiative. We will also walk through the Ruela de Luciana alley, leading us to the first library established in the community.

If you're in need of a bite to eat, we will take you to Bistro Mãos de Maria, a delightful spot where you can enjoy lunch independently.

After dedicating 5 hours to exploring the Paraisópolis Favela, we will return you to your hotel.
