Enjoy the vibrant experience of Favela Santa Marta with safety and comfort!

From the top of Santa Marta, you’ll enjoy one of the best panoramas of Rio, including Christ the Redeemer, Botafogo Beach, Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas, and the entire Botafogo area.

Explore streets and alleys visited by residents and famous guests — from Queen Elizabeth II to Michael Jackson. Walk through the favela, visit local craft shops, and enjoy football games and live drumming with the community.

You will also have the opportunity to visit the guide’s home, meet his family, and learn about projects supporting children and adults, ensuring your visit has a positive social impact.

Avoid cheap, superficial tours: here, every visit is authentic and meaningful. Invest in a quality experience that contributes to the community and transforms your perspective.

Award-winning and recognised: Awards 2019 as one of the best walking tours in Latin America, and Gentle and Responsible Tourism Awards 2024 for outstanding tourism achievement.
