With this tour you can watch the routine of this community, visiting local houses, day nurseries and schools. You can walk through the small streets, watch the local commerce and visit the gym of the Samba School Acadêmicos da Rocinha. There is also a free market with food and hand made goods from the North and Northwest regions at the Boiadeiro Square. ATTENTION, DON'T GO THERE ALONE!!!
