🔴 *Even though I have been in a few slums before in different areas of the world, this was one of those days that blew my mind.* It was humbling to be able to humanise this often feared neighbourhood if not for you guys watching at home but for myself. I hope you enjoy this video and if you want to contribute to the food and education of the children living here and give them a brighter future, then please consider supporting Barbara's project here: www.ilsorrisodeimieibimbi.org/support-us/?lang=en Like I mentioned in the video, Barbara is one of those people who shines so bright for good, dedicating her entire life to helping others who are less fortunate. Beautiful soul. If you would like to follow the photo version of this incredible trip, feel free to check out my Instagram: instagram.com/indigo.traveller/ Thank you for watching, Brazil is shaping up to be one of my favourites! Thank you to all the Brazilian people for making me feel so welcome in their beautiful country! *Bom Dia & Obrigado!* 🇧🇷

[@harzerroller100]

When I was in Rio I entered two favelas. The first one with a Brazilian friend to hike up ‘Dois Irmões’. It was super chill, we took a mototaxi up the hill through the favela. The second one I entered alone, thinking that I already know how it works. This time I also wanted to hike up the hill the favela was built on. In retrospective this obviously wasn’t such a good idea. Even the locals, e.g. my mototaxi driver asked me wth am I doing here. He didn’t even know were I wanted to go lol. Nevertheless, he took me up the hill. Were I got off there was a women who my driver asked something. The women too didn’t know the path I was looking for to hike up either. And she also told me that I am crazy entering the favela alone, it’s dangerous. But, instead of telling me to immediately leave the favela she even showed me around a little bit and I enjoyed beautiful views of Rio. So, all in all it probably was not the best idea to enter the favela without a local but therefore got to experience their incredible hospitality and I felt that they genuinely cared for my safety.

I love Barbara and her work. I’m very appreciative of what she’s doing! Thank you for showing this window into a favela in Brazil. 🙏🏼🙂💕

[@najeebrajput9889]

Hi dear

[@dudeguybro]

Been to Rio de Janeiro twice, and they are some of the most welcoming people I've ever known. It's definitely a place everyone needs to see in their life - history, beauty, and fantastic food.

[@bobspartylounge]

I visit Rocinha a couple of weeks ago and it was so intresting. Obiviously being able to visit and have a guide show us around means that its a relatively safe favela, but even still it showed how there are some stereotypes and misconceptions about favelas that have been exaggerated to the world outside of Brazil.

[@mcash82]

Lovely Italian lady 19:50, thanks for your work ❤️ Amazing country 🇧🇷

[@mrhacker99999]

I did this tour in 2019 around the same Favela and can confirm it’s the biggest eye opener ever. Yes Brazil is dangerous but tourist hot spots are the main dangers where u get bag snatchers. Rochinha is beautiful, the people are beautiful and the food is beautiful. If you want to do a tour like this just check for a local guide on Air BnB

[@IndigoTraveller]

Beautiful.

[@jonathanmiller776]

I also did that tour and people were super friendly

[@mach2222]

Brazil is not just Rio

[@rodrigoferreira1769]

Rio is really intriguing and mysterious for foreigners(even for brazilians) but Brasil is huge, there are a lot of beautiful and a bit safer places that you could visit.

Many think of favelas as a place of danger and drug dealers because of the sensationalist media, but 98% of the population are good people. We visited Rocinha a couple months ago and even though we walked by drug dealers with guns often we didn't feel in danger at all. Cool vid. Thanks guys!

[@IndigoTraveller]

Totally agree. Of course there is danger and threats but there is also so much good. Thanks for watching :)

[@nigonkouk1770]

I'd have to disagree, if the media actually had any brains they would just run Nick's video here on their Networks, since it actually shows how good a socialist community is great''''.

[@TheNougathorn]

Because Rocinha is the tourist favela

[@rodrigoroddy007]

The reality is that the midia sells a wrong image of RIo... 'Wonderful city' my ass. Of course the majority of the people are good people. To say that only because 'you felt safe' walking by drug dealers with guns and you didnt felt danger is such a disgrace of an argument. ANd people here in the comments are still romanticizing the shit that place is.

[@ParappatheRapper]

13:03 Hits home a bit for me. I've been living somewhere more dangerous for the last 3 years. Not as bad as Brazil probably, it's in America, but it's a big city with it's problems. Sometimes things happen and you see things and what are you going to do? The best policy is to not get involved, pretend you never saw it, report it when you feel safe later maybe but what can you do? It's better to keep walking and just hope you don't catch their attention. People think we don't care or we aren't sweating it, but we know better than anyone the danger is very real and that's why we keep our heads low. I try to just stay out of trouble altogether, I know where the bad spots are, but they spill over from time to time. Worst part is when they find out you live somewhere they think you might be a criminal too, like these people in Brazil. Good video and stay safe everybody.

[@jamie.777]

I was in Rio in 1986.. it was amazing, even got a tour of the favalas. My parents took me as a young boy

[@airlegs]

Great video. I lived in that area right next to Rocinha and Vidigal for 10 years. Nearly all of the people who worked for more well off families as housekeepers, cooks, nannies and drivers, lived in either Rocinha or Vidigal. The same for the workers in supermarkets or hair/nail salons, restaurant workers, drivers, barraca stands at the beach, in the “nice” areas, but they live in the favelas. To live in Rio is extremely expensive. And they have their own families to support. They work hard.

[@IndigoTraveller]

Thank you. Yes, very hard working people.

Mano, a favela virou ponto turístico do Brasil, infelizmente (principalmente no RJ). Culpa da mídia. A maior parte das favelas não possuem nem Sanemamento básico, e a mídia usa o modelo de favela (Rocinha) como se fosse um orgulho pro país.

[@rodrigoroddy007]

Cheio de gringo vindo aqui pra ver a desgraça que a favela é, mas para comentar que o povo é feliz, que a maioria não é criminosa e blablabla... Se soubessem a desgraça que o Rio é, não cairiam nesse papo horroroso de romantizar as desgraças do lugar. Temos que ter vergonha daquilo, não orgulho.

[@rogerscleykrebisdasilva4308]

Culpa dos políticos que após a abolição da escravatura, resolveu jogar os ex- escravizados nesses lugares, logo depois, em meados dos anos 80 teve uma grande imigração nordestina para as favelas e as expandindo, para piorar resolveram doar várias e várias terras e sementes de plantio para imigrantes totalmente de graça, por isso que a região sul do Brasil é mais desenvolvida que o resto.

[@saintpinewood562]
