Visiting a (gentrified) favela

Recommended Posts

I guess you all have heard about Vidigal, a favela next to Leblon that used to be dangerous many years ago. It has been gentrified for a long time now, you can even find Airbnbs at 1K USD per month.

Besides keeping many traces of its interesting history, there are a few bars and restaurants at the top that deliver an amazing view (check the pictures I took last August).

This post is to let you know that a friend of mine, who used to live there, is now working as a guide. His name is Patrick and this is his Instagram:

I recommend him with no hesitation. Patrick is knowledgeable, fun, and will deliver an authentic  and safe Vidigal experience. He is still working on his English, but language will not be an obstacle to enjoy his personal charm and this beautiful Carioca location. Contact him if you want to learn about the life in a favela and enjoy amazing views.IMG_7307.thumb.webp.38214dfecd7c40b678e57c8a28f5c7b2.webpIMG_73082.thumb.webp.88ba6171ada9724ad26d265f2bf57efe.webpIMG_7312.thumb.webp.287c9dc80b32cdffbbe1c785cc088c72.webpIMG_7313.thumb.webp.1515eae8092a4102ccbfda270e1e728a.webpIMG_7315.thumb.webp.aa2ccbc97f198081acfc145813729a8a.webpIMG_7317.thumb.webp.33f55f4ac6f3804561cb00d47a295eb1.webp
