With my last full day in Brazil upon me, I set out to explore a favela neighborhood! Come with me as I explore Brazil’s largest favela, Rocinha, and try some delicious Brazilian food in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil!

Brazil’s favelas are known for many things. They’re essentially massive, sprawling slum-like neighborhoods where many of the country’s poorest people live. Rocinha, located in the south zone of Rio de Janeiro, is Brazil’s largest favela, with roughly 250,000 residents.
While some favelas are considered safer than others, some are rife with crime and gangs, which is why it is recommended that foreigners stay away from them. I suggest only visiting a favela if you have a knowledgeable local guide with you.
Guilherme and Rafa from Rio4Fun and Rio4Food and I would be joined by a guide from Rocinha to take us around to the hidden corners of the favela.
We started with a sausage sandwich from a street food vendor. He adds lettuce, picante, cassava flour, and creamy sauces to the French bread. The sauces were like a creamy, garlicky mayo, and the picante made it spicy. I liked it better than the industrial hot dogs I’d been eating in Brazil! It only cost $1.37 USD.
From there, we drove back through Copacabana Beach and through a tunnel to get to the favela. There, we walked through a covered market and met our guide, whose name is also Guilherme!
Guilherme drove us through Rocinha on his motorbike, which is the best way to get around here. The favela’s winding roads were packed with people, cars, and buses.
At the top of a hill, we had an amazing view of an American school, the favela, the mountains, and some millionaire’s mansions. We also saw a tree full of jackfruit!
Then, we started our walking tour. The streets are steep. Walking them is a workout! Then, we walked between some houses to the rooftops to get a spectacular view over Rocinha.
We also visited a souvenir shop selling paintings by local artists, clothing, Christ the Redeemer statues, some sweet cachaça, and more. I bought my family some beautiful paintings. Always support the locals when you travel!
Further down a tiny alley, we came across a bakery selling a teardrop-shaped chicken croqueta that reminded me of kibbeh. I also tried some extremely sweet guarana syrup juice.
Overhead were a tangle of electrical wires connected to all the buildings. From there, we visited the rooftop of an 89-year-old man’s home in the middle of Rocinha. The view of Rio from there was the best I’ve ever seen in my life! It cost us R$5 to go up there.
The favela was like a maze, with so many tight, interconnected alleys and streets lined with murals and graffiti. The homes along the alley don’t have addresses, so all the mail is left in a box at the alley’s entrance.
Then, we stopped at a small restaurant for some fried rice with beans. It’s like a risotto with beans, onions, garlic, cheese, tomatoes, sausage, and cilantro. It was really delicious and reminded me of Colombian rice dishes I’d had. Adding hot sauce made it even better!
We continued on down the main street past vendors, restaurants, car washes, and mechanics. There were so many amazing viewpoints! There was so much to do and see in the favela, and it was so full of life!
We also saw the favela’s first church, built in 1940. The majority of Rocinha’s residents are Catholic.
At the bottom of the favela, we got some fresh orange juice from a vendor. It was nice and refreshing, just what I needed on this 100-degree day! It cost $1.10 for two!

About Me:
My name is David Hoffmann. For the last 12 years, I have been traveling around the world in search of unique culture, food, and history! Since starting David’s Been Here in 2008, I have traveled to over 1,200 destinations in 81 countries, which I welcome you to check out on my UA-cam channel, travel blog, and social media sites.
I focus a great deal on food and historical sites, as you probably have seen! I love to experience the different flavors that each destination has to offer, from casual street food to gourmet restaurant dining. I’m also passionate about learning about the local history and culture.
P.S. Thank you for watching my videos and subscribing!
Gringos in Brazil: OMG LET'S GO THE FAVELAS, THEY ARE AMAZING, I LOVE FAVELAS. Brazilians in Brazil: I don't want to get on a 10km radius around a favela.
In Rio is literally impossible not being on a 10km radius from a favela.
@@leobetosouza Protip: There's 5,569 cities and towns in Brazil besides Rio.
@@Subiromba oh, really? And the video it's about which one of these cities?
Let me be honest as a brazilian: i dont want to take the risk of getting shot
I forgot that this only happens at night
It’s always do interesting to see how people in other countries live. Thanks for sharing!
Venha conhecer o Brasil, seja bem vinda ❤
I don’t wanna be rude but this tourist guide doesn’t know the meaning of apartheid. Love the places he guided you. Nice video.
O cara/guia é carioca então ele minimiza os problemas pra atrair os turistas gringos... e todo mundo que é brasileiro sabe que o rio tá na merda mas ainda é a porta de entrada dos gringos pro Brasil.
@@thealexprime os gringos também meio sem noção,"poverty yeah, conglomeration of unplanned houses yeah".
"Oh yes, tem que mandar oh yes né?"
Mineiro, Algum 2021
Sim,kkkkk
I love Brazil 🇧🇷 .
Lots of love 💗😘 from India 💙🇮🇳💙🥰❤️🙏✨
Poverty is not a tourist attraction, do better
Love Brazil 💙 from India 🇮🇳 ❤️
Love India from Brazil... beriani is my best food
@@feliperabelo4771 tq
Yes oo
we love you too 🇧🇷❤
@@ilyoursmile tq 🥰
I love how that one dude was like: no, I don't recommend it. And the other guy was like: you can do it but you're gonna miss a lot... Completely ignoring the fact that you might just lose your life. 😂
Dude, you chose the right Flamengo shirt to go to Rocinha
Ele esta usando em todos os lugares no Rio
@@jeffersonbrrj orientaram ele bem kkk
I LOVE RIO !! I wish I could live there someday, no frills or many amenities needed, just a humble house with one of those views. beautiful!
The Light Company workers don't like to control all eletrics cables in this slum Rocinha and anothers slums in Rio de Janeiro! Because there are many "cats" ( theft of electricity) everywhere! They must have permission of the drugs traffickers to go there in the slums !
Really nice tour! It was really enlightening!
Venha conhecer o Brasil é um país lindo ❤
Legendas em português por favor 🙏🏻
Queriaaa
Aprende ingles e para de chorar
Já tem, só ativar as legendas
Awesome work as usual bro!! Keep'em coming!!!
12:50 "coxinha pae? quer um suco?"
Ai Brasil, eu te amo kkkkkkkk
Being electrician in Rio must be a nightmare 😳
lol lol lol lol
In Favela not Rio*
Ahahahhaha
Não é não, eles ganham muito bem,ótima profissão ❤
Fun fact: Rocinha is one of the most dangerous favelas, nobody lives there because of culture, more because they prefer to stay there than become a beggar, it's not good to arrive in Rio de Janeiro and want to go there
I've seen this hot dog stand guy and Guilherme who lives in the Favelas from Mark Wiens vlogs.
I went to Rio years ago and never visited a Favela. Now I know I missed out.
Nothing?
Rio is absolutely amazing and has the most beautiful combo of mountains, forests and beaches I’ve ever seen but would have been really nice to also visit a favela like Rocinha instead of just the main tourist attractions.
@@juismacporque você não volta?? Venha outra vez ,seja bem vindo ❤❤
The perfect place to wear this jersey.
David, you are a real carioca, man LOL
These favelas have potential to be interesting, but there is just too much stuff to be done in terms of infrastructure, sewer system, criminality etc... I doubt they will be really transformed in my lifetime at least. I'm brazilian too, just not from Rio.
Gringo eating with his hads.
Brazilian: Napkins? haha
For those who don't know, people from Brazil don't like to touching their foods with their hands. Especially if is grease or have sauce in it. We eat sandwiches and hamburguers with napkins and pizza on a plate with knife and fork. We hate getting dirty. XD
@@julianoaires Eu prefiro do quê se a gente fosse sujo kkkkk
Frescura pura
Exagerou um pouco
Very cool to see this. The alleyways, cats, street life, views, telephone wires ... Too much noisy motorcycles but the heat looked humid, they were sweating from their journey
Summer here in Brazil is very humid, especially in coast cities. You sweat by walking around for 5 min lol
That makes you feel alive, it’s fucking boring here where I live. 😕
Brazil eats, sleeps and drinks football. It lives football! They have a joy for life in Brazil unlike any country I've ever seen. Love from Korea🇰🇷💕
Joy is in our DNA.
I love your channel! im in love with korean culture 🤍
@@vitoriaferreira4119 thank your 💘
@@lifeinkorea333 hope u can visit brazil soon :)
Life in Korea, come to Brazil to enjoy our life you too.
Se eu fosse moradora dessas comunidade, eu detestaria esses tours. Sentiria bicho no zoo.!🤬
Great vídeo man. I hope you come back to Brazil very soon, with your family.
The city of Rio de Janeiro is amazing.👍❤️ ️
Só 10% da cidade
@@lucaslucas-wd3un não fode
How's the Covid-19 situation over there? Been reading that its pretty bad.
David was there around Christmas time if I am correct. But it is really bad right now. Unfortunately...
Yeah. Covid situation here is not easy. But it will pass
@@marciaabreu8246 I really hope so!
We are surviving.
Here in Brazil the corona virus is killing many people, yesterday April 1 died more than 3000 people.
Meu Deus! I really want to try one of those sandwiches. Not sure if I'd call the place where you ate feijao "a hole in the wall." Actually, watching this has made me very hungry and good timing as it's lunch. Enjoyed watching.
Sausage or hot dog, cheese or yucca? David says one thing the guide /friend another!
Cheese , he get confuse. Was Parmesan cheese on top.
I don't believe this guy knows the meaning of apartheid...
Esse Guilherme só fala merda mesmo... falar pro cara que não tem problema ir nas favelas sozinho, que você pode ir, mas é bom ir com um local pra não se perder...
Sou carioca, nascido e criado no Rio. Se um estranho entrar em uma favela errada, ele simplesmente corre o sério risco de NUNCA mais sair de lá vivo.
Como que o cara me pega e diz que os gringos podem ir para as favelas, desde que tenham cuidado para não se perder? Sinceramente, é uma cabaçada atrás da outra.
Se ele falase isso especificamente sobre a Rocinha, vai lá... mas falar isso no geral é absurdo e irresponsável só
@@michaelbarbosa8363 Mesmo na rocinha o pau quebra... Rocinha é gigantesca. Tem tráfico e confrontos com a policia como toda favela. A diferença é que lá é mais "urbanizado". As coisas não são feitas tão ao ar livre como em outras favelas. Mas mesmo na Rocinha, há partes e partes. Tem partes que você não pode ir, se for não volta... e quando eu digo que não volta, não é linguagem de expressão. Não volta mesmo. Desovam seu corpo lá mesmo.
@Júnior monteiro verdade eu que sou gaúcha mas acho que nao falou pro mau
What clubs jersey are you wearing in this video David??
Flamengo!
This has been such a wonderful series. Thank you. Cant wait for the next adventure
faltou ir na boca de fumo kkkkk
ele não é doido de ir kkkkk
miracle he didn't see a guy with a rifle 😬😬😬
Here in fortaleza we call this kind of bread "carioquinha" not french bread it's kinda funny
Dont go to any favela in Brazil...there's a lot of nice places to go, visit São Paulo, Campos do Jordão, Curitiba, Ouro Preto, Tiradentes, Blumenau, Petrópolis, Balneario Camboriu, Florianopolis, Caxias do Sul, Porto Alegre, Gramado.. Instead of stay visiting favelas of Rio..
To visit a Favela should not be allowed anymore, nobody travel to visit a bad neighbourhood, I don’t get it.
muito foda wisney
Vergonha total a existência de favelas, humilhado o Brasil.
Vergonha não, tio, no estados unidos também e muitas; espia só;.....ua-cam.com/video/IO9zmqNp7aU/v-deo.html&ab_channel=PlanetaBlog.
@@junin0710 nao, favela é falta de opcao e oportunidade!
This is hilarious. Really we want to go to the slum. Yeah I'm going to save up my money from working 6 days a week here. Get on a plane and fly to a slum where most likely I'll either get some disease just from the air I breathe or mugged and or killed
Wanna visit this place❤️
Venha, seja bem vindo ❤
You r always with my dinner time
Oh my god this is a farce. This is from Saturday night live right? He goes to a slum and then gets some street food and it's all over his face and you can tell he doesn't really like it
Enjoy your life
Second 😀😀😀
Hahaha - cashasa at 10 a.m. Rakiya with turtles at 6 a.m rules at secret Albanian training camps
that one day the gringos can show the place where 90% of Brazilians live in the countryside, places with a high development, what a pity they only show favela
90% dos brasileiros vivem nas cidades, ignorante
Hii..how r u ...I am from Assam ....love you bro
Me from Kerala
Amazing! Muito bom 👍🇧🇷
Just like in Fast and Furious 5 😉
isto sim é um lanche de verdade pão com linguiça.
love your video!
Does this guy know that the sausages made from dogs?
Omg David is using a flamengo's futebol team... I'm thinking about the possibility that he actually had to use it to respect this favela comunity or maybe to make people think he is a brasilian so that they do not anoy him KKKK lmao
Brazil scares me. I've seen some shite
Aren't these places quite dangerous? I mean, I live in a rusted American city with it's own scourge of shootings, and I mean no offense, but from the videos I've seen; Brazil seems to have a lot of crime.
Are you tasting the good food of the favelas in Rocinha, in the community of Rio de Janeiro and wear a mask because the coronavirus pandemic and I am got vaccinated with the Moderna vaccine for the protection against the COVID-19 and still need to wear a mask if people not had the been vaccinated.
Just to let you know, I’m Brazil it is mandatory to wear helmet. Why you didn’t have one? Do you know ??? Hahahahhaha
carai é o segundo gringo que vem aqui onde eu moro, queria ter visto ele.
Hope to visit one day into the beautiful favela
Venha, será bem recebida ❤
Man where are all the chicas ? I saw more chicas in Maria Ortiz in Vitória dancing around in community 😛
no chicas in rio
FAVELA are famous for HEADS.
Keep yours safe 😂😂😂

Os gringo pira nos BR!!!!

Hi Davi
(Hell)Rio de Janeiro doesn't represent Brazil
How can we contact the guide from Rocinha?
His name is @guilhermexuxa22 on Instagram.

Nvm. The other guy said it was Parmesan cheese
In a nut shell: make FAVELAS a point for a visit is pathetic.....
Why?
Passa em Sergipe
it is a magical place.
Venha....❤
This time music is not good 🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲✌
Hello sar
Subir a Rocinha de Terno.
Esse é merece o like. 🔴⚫
Guilherme rio4fun, guilherme xuxa david and lagartixa, awesome
This place looks like India🤔
the Brazilian dream is to be dissociated from the favela, if you knew that favela is a small 5% of the population, you would visit other states Mato Grosso Pantanal, Goias, Mato Grosso do Sul,
3:00 Where is that girl pulling the cellphone from? Obv not the pocket.
She took the cellphone out of her waist, it's like carrying a gun, but easier because the cellphone is thin.
@@jeffahbb but why? It's just easier to put in ur pocket.
@@ronishk3753 its easier for other ones to pick the phone from your pocket...
You have to hide all your belongs to walk around in Rio... not only in favelas, but all over the Rio De Janeiro. Take care there!!!
@@yakkosurfboards That makes sense now. I got my answer, thanks! 😀
Ow man, very good videos. Com to Brazil always.
come on this is awesome!!
Looking forward to visiting Brazil in the future. Wonderful people wonderful country. 🙏😀
You'll be more than welcome, brother. Abraços
Seja bem vinda ❤
Why without guide is not safe or not?
