First off, this is a favela, and itâs amazing. The views are unreal, the space is comfortable, and itâs easy to just stay here all day and not want to leave. That said, it *is* still a favela, so come prepared. If you have multiple bags, use Google Translate to arrange a motorbike or van to get up the hill. Ubers can take a while and often stop running around midnight.
My stay was incredible. I didnât realize breakfast was included every morning, and the family here is so welcoming and kind, above&beyond. On my first day they were having a barbecue and invited me to try traditional foods like maionese and churrasco. Later we went to a bloco party together and they made sure I felt safe the entire time.
There are community rules, and the hosts clearly explained where to go and what areas to avoid. I genuinely felt safe and cared for. Thereâs a strong sense of community here.
There are different room types with or without AC. I chose a non AC room. It was a little hot during the day but not unbearable. Pro tip: the rooftop is cooler and doubles as a lounging and viewing deck. I also didnât know how to turn on the hot water at first, so ask for a quick walkthrough. If you prefer very modern, sturdy bathroom fixtures, this may not be the best fit.
This is not something you can experience through a tour. To understand the warmth and daily life of a favela, you have to live in it. If youâre open minded and prepared, this stay is truly special. <3 Thank you for all the hospitality
