Santa Marta Favela Sunset Tour + Mirador do Pedrão
Tour Details
At the scheduled time, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Rio de Janeiro to start this tour, where we'll explore the Santa Marta favela. Let’s go!
First, we'll climb Morro Dona Marta until we reach Mirador do Pedrão, a spot with incredible views. From here, you'll enjoy a stunning panoramic view of Guanabara Bay, Botafogo Bay, the Rio-Niterói Bridge, and a spectacular view of Sugarloaf Mountain.
After taking in the vast Carioca landscape from this natural balcony, we'll enter the Santa Marta favela and begin a walking tour. We'll stroll through the colorful alleys and narrow streets of this vibrant neighborhood, soaking up the atmosphere of the community.
There, we'll visit the favela’s main attraction: the Michael Jackson Space. This is where the King of Pop filmed several scenes from his iconic music video They Don't Care About Us. Did you know that?
To put the finishing touch on the tour, we'll stop at the LaGezinha Santa Marta restaurant and bar. Here you can enjoy a delicious caipirinha, a cold beer, or a soft drink, paired with a typical snack such as house fries or frango a passarinho (fried chicken).
In addition, the location is on a high point in the favela, offering a 360-degree view of the entire South Zone of Rio, including the famous Christ the Redeemer statue. You'll fall in love with the sight of the sky turning golden and orange at sunset.
Finally, we'll make our way back to the starting point, concluding the tour after a total of 4 hours.
