Private Tour of Paraisópolis Favela

Upon collecting you from your accommodation at your selected time, we will commence our private exploration of the second largest favela in Sao Paulo.

After a brief 30-minute drive, we will reach Paraisópolis. Here, our journey begins as we delve into the life of the favela, home to around 100,000 individuals, and uncover its rich culture and traditions.

We will first visit the head office of the Community Association, learning about its origins, the story behind its inception, and the pivotal projects implemented within the community. Following this, we will stop by the community radio station to experience a live broadcast and engage in conversation with some of the hosts.

The next stop will be Berbéla's workshop, where we will witness his ingenuity in transforming old car parts, scrap metal, and various discarded items into impressive creations.

Proceeding further, we will visit the sculptor Estevão's residence, commonly referred to as the Gaudí of Paraisópolis, who is the proud owner of a distinctive stone abode. His unique home incorporates everyday items like cups and plates as integral components of its structure.

Continuing through the winding streets of Paraisópolis, we will make our way to Palmeirinha football field. Here, there is a chance we may observe a practice session for participants in the "Rugby for All" initiative. Next, we will navigate through the Ruela de Luciana alley and arrive at the community's very first library.

If you feel hungry, we will lead you to Bistro Mãos de Maria, a delightful spot where you can enjoy lunch independently.
